Default RE: What color and weight on butterfly jigs

Have just gotten started in the jigging, Used the one below last week, got 3 Triggers and a small (28") cobia. Was just doing the mid water column, not trying for grouper, hoping for an AJ out on theFt Walton liberty ship. Believe it was a Bass Pro brand i got this spring.



Tried it yesterday on the bottom near a wreck and something big hit it, probably a grouper. I held onfor 5 minutes before my line snapped, lost the fish and jig. Was using an old rod and not sure what test the line was. Heading out today to get some new line (100+ braid ?) and look for some more of these jigs. Lot of fun when a fish hits one.
