If you used a 7/0 circle hook, a big bait, a high modulus graphite rod and
200 feet of no stretch spectra/braid and only tighten up when you feel a
big headshake bite, you wouldn't catch little ones.

If you fish the 2 oz plastics, and only set the hook when the BIG THUMP
happens, you get keepers. In order to feel what is happening with
your rig, you HAVE to have spectra/braided line and a quality graphite
rod.
Great info...thanks for sharing.

I do not ever jig big Irons on the bottom, that just kills little fish.
If you don't mind, can you elaborate on the above statement. When I use jigs for rockfish I typically get bigger sized rockfish...
