Halis like the smaller jigs for panfish and stuff? My buddies and I who always fish together have about 40 or 50 of them that we use for smelts. We have all sizes and various colors both glow and non-glow. I have caught cusk on them before by accident but never thought to use them targeting cusk. My buddy had a one break the chain on is hali a few years back, they don't seem to be rugged enough for that. Am I thinking of the right jigs? By the way Boobss, where are you from, you seem to know the area pretty well?
