I would like to try jigging with some knife jigs, but i dont know the best set up for them? Should i use conventional or spinner and any other advice?
Thanks!

x2 have a stella 10000FA on a spinal series 2 250gram and love it as it is comfortable to use for long periods of time. The downside to this rod is it is 5'6" and you have to stay on top of the fish more so but you can certainly turn a fishes head with them.I love my Shimano Stella 8000SWPG with 250g Spinal jigging rod. It is a beast and extremely comfortable jigging and fighting fish. Jigging with conventional gear is bulky and tough of me.

I got a Penn 706 and a shimano TLD 25 that i was gonna give a try with this week. Im totally new to this so it's going to be a learning experience. From what I've seen, it looks like a blast trying to get a good AJ to the surface on a spinning reel.
I agree 100% with 50% of this statementOne thing I have learned about jigging is that it's all about the rod. If you can afford it do consider getting a upper echelon rod. Options would be OTI, Spinal, ocean revolution which you can get for around 350 on up.

What I am referring to is that the jigging rods are pretty short (atleast the ones I have are). I think my spinals are around 5'4" if I remember correctly. With such a short rod and parabolic action (rod bends up to the top rod grip) you almost feel as if you need to lean over the boat to bring one up.Feelin,
I am curious what you mean when you say, "you have to stay on top of the fish more ...".

Yeah, thats the truth. It is a very different fight when using a parabolic rod.What I am referring to is that the jigging rods are pretty short (atleast the ones I have are).

The 40N specials are very nice. Those come with carbon drags right?I have a Trinidad 40N jigging setup for sale on here right now![]()
