Thanks for the replies. I was planning on starting a new post but maybe I'll just do it here. Mods give me hell if this is wrong. I've been out once on the Jamaica. Have all my own gear now and I think I'm ok there. I'm sure we can leave that discussion for a million other threads. I'm here to learn not to argue.

Thanks for your input Ol Pedro as well as others. My interest is in catching fish too. I think my gear is fine and I know how to rig a butterfish. Have 80# and 50# FC for chunk leaders and I'm going to try my hand at jigging with some Shimano BF jigs. Last time I went all the rentals had an 8oz egg sinker above the swivel. I bought a bunch of sinkers after the trip. Should I use weight, no, or less weight? I've seen a lot of posts say to fish it weightless. My worry is getting tangled if I'm doing something drastically different from the rest of the group. I'm sure I have other questions but I just can't think of them right now.

I'll take any advice I can get! Bonus points if it's good advice! Anyone here going out on the 22-23OCT2020 trip by any chance?

Thank you all,
Josh
