Bottom Fishing and Jigging

Using exceptionally thin Spectra line that doesn't stretch, deep water jigging is an Asian passion that's shared by some anglers in Hawaii.

Not all boats target Kona's steep volcanic flanks, where bottom fish can be jigged nearly 500 feet down.

Jigging is a vigorous style of fishing that's a workout for anglers and crew. Prepare to sweat. The bite can be heavy and the fish need to come up a long way. It's productive, and it lands a unique bunch of fish.
