Agree 4x, also more about how you make the jig swim than what color it is. Off Florida I do alot of vertical jigging and have had alot of success with the williamson abyss jig in 100g, with an added single hook. Landed everything from Yellowtail snappers, Blackfin, kingfish, cudas to Huge Amberjacks on it. Had 3 instances of 2 fish on one jig last summer.

X3 ... Fish one lure and learn to make it swim good. Similar to fishing the surface iron you find what retrieves make it swim right.

That being said, I think the colt sniper, and/or the megabaits, would work pretty good! I have caught everything from YT, tuna, bonito, dorado, calico, even some sand bass on it. Took a few to Costa Rica last spring and the Jack Crevalle were all over it!

One of the most versatile lures I use is the mega bait or similar "dart" style iron. It cast great, comes in plenty of sizes, and gets bit at about every speed between as fast as you can turn the handle to a no retrieve fluttering sink. Even at high speeds they dont have alot of resistance. They can work the whole water column too. Surface retrieve, yoyo, in between, or jigged along the bottom. The mega baits aren't too pricey either. Mike
