Default Re: Blackfish jig setup

Light weight is they key not light ratings. My BlacK Hole Challeger S731M is rated for 20 - 25# line and 3/4 to 4 ounce weight but the rod only weighs 8 ounces.

I initially tried using one of my heavy fresh water set ups and even the smallest of blackfish were really tough to lift up out of the wreck. You need a nice long foregrip to give you leverage and lifting power.
