200-300gram jigs do the trick for me.

1gram per foot of water

Just enough to get down to where the fish are in a relatively straight line. Very current and depth dependent.

I Agree!!! Gotta get that jig straight down fast. Casting into the tide also helps greatly in getting the jig to end up straight down under the boat.


If the sharks are thick you can change the hook cord to wire cable & then heat shrink tube. My go to is 9oz knife shape down there.

We did pretty good, started the morning with nothing but FA's, AJ's and sharks. Later we Found some 75degrees waters in about 65fathoms and boated 4 Blackfins (10-15lbs). Then ended the day with more FA's and AJ's..

thanks for the input i have 250 to 300 gram jigs that i use for bluefins just wasnt sure if they where to big for the blackfins since i have never tried to catch them. Paul

they eat the same jigs. its more about getting it to themand alot to do with the rod you use real jigging rods are set up to jig near a specific jig wait. I use a 450g rod for bft and usually 280-300g jig any lighter it doesnt have action and a 250-300g rod for blackfin with 200 plus g jigs. just know there might be scattered bft in the mix.
