For future video - How does Alex rig his daytime and nighttime setups on each rod/reel combo? Braid rating connected to what pound mono/flouro… Solid braid to Bimini to wind-ons or FG to mono or fluoro to chain knot, etc. please go into rigging details, how does he tie to his jigs, what assist hooks does he use, what size hooks for each lure size, one on top, two assist on bottom, day vs night rigged differently, etc. 🙏🏻
Steve and Alex, great video! Although, you guys are awesome, it can't be stressed enough that each angler MUST be physically prepared to fight their fish. You guys know all to well sometimes you find a biting school and all hell breaks lose, and help is not coming quickly, if at all.
For anyone that wants to learn speed jigging, book a trip on the Legend and ask Alex to teach you; listen, learn and watch him at stops he gets to drop a line. He is a super talented angler (and an awesome deckhand too)! Great video guys & see you later this season.
@@lukesuder1260 Generally in that case you’re over pumping your jig. You probably pumped too hard and didn’t pick up enough slack in the line thus blowing out your jig. Shorter pumps and more speed should fix it!
Alex is a beast working the jig. I’ve seen it first hand. Cannot wait to be back out west with my cousin from Massachusetts and my co worker. Keep up the great work guys!!
Hi Steve and Alex, nice video guys. i just want to know since you guys are very familiar with reels. i have this small Avet mxj6/4. 2 speed. do you think its capable of landing a yellow tail or yellow fin? if not can you tell me what fish it can handle? thanks…
you all are putting out some entertaining content during the slow season. love the enthusiasm of Alex passion for this topic. BTW what reel are you using on your medium setup??
Terminal knots of choice for H&M: Mono-fluorocarbon (like tying leader to top shot) is Seaguar knot Braid-mono/fluoro (like braid to top shot or leader) Line(any type)-hook/jig we prefer the Sd jam knot for inshore and lighter applications and the double Sd jam knot for offshore and big tuna applications. All knots tie well to about 150ish on mono and 100ish on fluoro. Above that we tend to crimp things
The medium light he runs 65 braid to either 40 or 60# fluoro. The medium heavy 80# braid to 60 or 80# fluoro. Extra heavy is going to be 100-150 fluoro tied to an FG knot.
