We always had a Jack Pole on the D2 and Dominator when I worked on those boats. Nothing like flinging a 40lb Yellowfin over the rail seconds after it bites. If the Calcutta can take that kind of abuse then why not a jigstick? It may not be the best but he will be able to say he did it.
Think about how many tuna were killed on bamboo jackpoles back before Purse-seiners took over the tuna fleet....
