Thanks for the responses. I have every jig in the world.....hots drift tunes, Lamble, fcllabo, 7 sevens sea, stingo pbj, etc.....my best producer has been a shimano flatside in 224 gram in blue sardine color. Best day was 27 yft in the spencer 5 yrs ago. The shimano jigs I always attach to top, as they recommend. However, Kilsong from jignpop recommends hooks off the bottom of the jig and I have had great success with the FCllabo Sl in 230 grams in the silver wave glow jigs. Sami from Salty water has a method that is neat and unique. He attaches a single hook with an owner swivel to a split ring to jig....instead of the hook being attached to jig, it's attached to split ring. This method allows jig to be changed and no need to retie. Many places have recommended the hots drift tune jigs. They look great, nice colors too. Hook size is also very important with the Hots jigs...too big gets hung up on jig body. However, I have had little success with them. I fish primarily in Cape Cod and NJ. Anyone put 1 hook up and 1 down? Think it would effect the performance??? Also, I have tried all the fancy rods and the best for me has been shimano trevala tvc-60h. The best and best deal on a jig/pop rod is the van staal vjs70-325....an absolute dream of a rod and handles tuna from 40-300 lb without a problem. Let's hear all of your opinions on this matter....my tuna season starts soon!!! I can't wait to go to Cape Cod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
