So who's been Butterfly jig fishing?

It looks to be hands down made for ya'll Cod fishers.
I don't go offshore much any more, got bored with it...bottom fishing and trolling. And of course ya need a 40 foot boat to be able to do it year round even here in N.E. Florida.
But I'm excited to try jigging with a freestyle jig. Never jigged before offshore. So now I have something new to do. I got me some blade type jigs (shimano's are a tad expensive, plus you have to add hooks and riongs and all....) so I got me some cheaper models and a M.H. Trevalla Shimano jigging rod and matched it up to one of my small Accurate B-197 twin drag reels. It's small but powerful as all hell, and has a narrow spool, so ya don't have to lay line, really.

-just was wondering if any one has tried it with good success. I'm just gonna mess around with the system for King Mackerel, Seabass, and maybe a Red Snapper or Grouper close inshore if I get lucky, and use it when I go way offshore in my neighbors 31' Jupiter with twin 300's, where all I have to do is show up, and fish. Nice deal there, huh?
He's a serious MEAT fisherman.
If ya fish and aren't locked in a closet, butterfly jigging is all the rage.
I've been watching video's from Shimano on Jose Wejebe's web site, THE SPANISH FLY...A TV show of immense popularity in Florida.

The video's are tough to watch and learn, because I have no sound on my computer. Something happened to the sound card(??)
