Glad to see you got on em while longlining. I don't know whether longlining or spider rigging is my favorite way to fish.

This fall I'm going to play around with putting a 1/2 ounce weight ahead of the jigs to shorten the length of line out and use line counter reels.

It's hard for me to get jigs down deeper than about 12-15 feet.

I caught them on jigs with the added 1/2 ounce weight while we were at Crankfest. We were pulling at 1.5 mph. That's faster than I would normally pull jigs but we were fishing with both crankbaits and jigs. When fishing above grass at home I have pulled jigs at 1.2-1.3 mph continously to keep them out of the grass, and worn them out.
