I have much better luck with squid.

Interesting. I figured the jig would get more bites considering the action that it gives off. Is 160g a good weight for that depth? It seems a little heavier than necessary since jigs usually sink faster than sinkers.

Gonna try lucanus this season...

How did the 100g size work for you? I'm mainly looking for a size that will attract the attention of medium sized rockfish.
