>>2378631just got back from fishing with the jigpara for the first time on the new spinning setup. Was great. Could fish twice as long compared to my old 300 size baitcaster I normally use for surf plugging. Two things I learned:
For our surf in norcal, tungsten seems help a lot unless it's almost glass calm. Completely lost contact with the normal jigpara jigs up to 30g but the tungstens worked well. Got a few hits on a 32g tungsten in cotton candy colors but only landed one 14" jacksmelt. Good day for a first time shore jigging though. Can't wait until I go on a calmer day to fish with some of the normal type and micros I bought.
pic is jig used except with an inline single hook on the back I swapped.
