Diamond jig rockfish

[Dave k]

the ahi jigs work great. the below pic was after just 1 session.

Where are you fishing? I've found that at times the rockfish in some higher fishing pressure areas aren't as eager to jump on the jig. If fishing shallower or without too much drift and current the megabait style jigs work really well too.

You can also use a whole squid or octopus with a big (7/0 or bigger) hook to weed out the smaller fish.
