Re: Blackfish jig setup
I thought I had a decent blackfish jigging rod until I picked up my Buddy's 701L Black hole challenger .
With that rod I could feel everything that the 1.5 OZ jig bumped into. Def adding one to my arsenal

Re: Blackfish jig setup
How light of a rod can you really get away with?

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.

Re: Blackfish jig setup
I'm looking as well for a setup. I just don't know if I want to spend that kind of money. anyone got a recommendation for a cheaper setup?

Re: Blackfish jig setup
I could feel the bite and was able to lift the tog i got on my last trip. I only got one but i was fishing the jig for all of 3 mins. Rod i used was a Shimano Trevala medium. Light weight and good backbone.

Re: Blackfish jig setup
I've seen several people using the Trevala spinners. They come in all different line ratings so I would be using the lighter ones.

Re: Blackfish jig setup
What is theprice range you're looking to spend. I just grabbed a Penn battalion 815S76 to use for tog jigging and fluking, can fish a 1/2-3oz jig with sweet spot from 3/4-2oz. Cost $120 and can't wait to get the line wet. Definitely an upgrade to the st. Croix I was uusing.
