I like to use a 4 to 10oz. Ahi Assault jig on the bottom with a dropper loop above it. A strip of squid or a chovie on the dropper loop is a good addition to attract the fish.
Good Luck

Yep. I like them in the baby red and mackerel pattern. Weight will depend on depth and current. If you don't have squid or cho is gulp will work well

Two ways not to get snagged too often: 1) Keep your jig straight up and down 2) When you feel bottom, immediately get your jig up off the ground. Don't let it just drag the bottom with slack in the line.

I like Butterfly Jigs because of the placement of the hooks. I don't get too many snags. Realistically, most of the shiny heavy jigs on the market will do. Good luck.

so you just bounce these ahi jigs at the bottom?

As close as you dare. Those are Mustad 3X hooks and a welded ring. Get hung up you have a challenge to get it back

I wouldn't use the term "bounce." You want to jig it a couple of turns above the bottom...

Gotcha. Ill give it a try next time. I got some ahis on me and only tried once on a sport boat. Had a strip of squid on it.

Just my .02, but I like 4-8oz. Jig heads (depending on depth and current conditions) with the Kalin's Mombo(?) 6"grub tails in white!
Again just my opinion!
