I also noticed that you have no treble hooks just single assist, some on top some on bottom. Any reasoning for this & the differences (top or bottom)?Ever use trebles on bottom?
Do you also bait those assist hooks & put a light up above the jig?
Thanks!

The Lucanus style jig is a Jigging Master Dancing Jig. I use the 300 and 350g for tiles with a single assist hook tipped with short squid strips.
I have used trebles on the bottom of jigs but switched to assist style hooks for 2 reasons. First they foul less and second because they float over the jig longer than a treble hook would when the jig is resting on the bottom for a second. When YoYo style jigging for tiles I have found the they usually hit the jig in that second the jig is on the bottom, where are cod usually hit the jig when it is falling. I think this gives the fish more hook to bite and I have had a better hookup ratio.
Also I have caught on a bare jig, but I almost always tip with small squid strips, head or some thin blue line tile strips.
