SPINNING AND JIGGING

We are very experienced in both spinning (casting) and jigging.

• we cast nearby the reefs following the current: this is best option for casting GTs; due to the necessity of taking away Gts from rocks, we need to use very stiff and powerful rods, able to cast up to 150gr. Tuna frenzies are also common on these locations
• we jig usually on sunset on depths up to 50 mts, with light jigs of around 100gr. Lots of snappers and groupers are caught this way
