Vertical jigging is a very effective method on catching both freshwater and saltwater fish. There are many manufactures producing metal jigs and spoons for this technique but some are better than others. This brings me to P-Line’s Laser Minnow which I first saw at the Long Beach Fred Hall show at the beginning of 2008.
The body of the lure looks great but I did find that the wire loop they used are very thin, thinner than my favorite MegaBait Live Jigs. This is a problem not only for saltwater anglers but also vertical fishing for freshwater species. If the wire breaks on a big bass that would be heartbreaking. I’ve broken the wire before while vertical jigging for rockcod.
I’ve contacted P-Line about this but never got a response. Hope they are listening.
So… my number 1 goto lure for rockcod and lingcod fishing is still the Megabait Live Jig. (http://www.tackletour.com/reviewmegablivejig.html) This lure gives good action on the drop and is deadly when jigged for rockfish. I’m able to bounce the rocky bottom and completely bend the wire without it breaking.
