I love jigging also. I have been considering getting a higher speed reel also to help get them up quicker. I am using a tld now.
I need to find heavier pilchard jigs though for those days when the current is moving.
I usually fish the 90-130 range while we are live bait drifiting. Last time out we got 3 muttons, 3 jacks, triggerfish, and 1 kingfish on the jig rod when the flatlines went untouched.
