Any one using these in the Sea of Cortez? How they working compared to 'regular' irons? I'm thinking of trying them for yellowtail this spring.

What are they? Do you have a pic?

Go Here. It has a pretty good lay-out. You will have to copy it and paste it into your Internet browser, as I don't know how to make it an active
link.

Looks like the site does it automatically

Those knife jigs sink real fast, I hear. I am headed to San Diego soon and will be shopping at Fisherman's Wharf, Squidco, HookLine&Sinker, Bob's
Baits, etc. Will let you know how the prices are and most importantly...how they work!
With the eye hook, we should get some good hookups on the drop.

This will link you to the same question I posed on AllCoast's board - reply from Don in Loreto.

I use assist hooks on these. My line is tied to a solid ring. The assist hooks are looped onto this ring also. The jig is fastened to the solid ring
with a split ring. There is no hook on the jig itself. To change jigs, I use split ring pliers; the solid ring and hooks remain tied to the line, only
the jig is changed. This should minimize snags on the bottom, and so far so good. And it seems to hook and hold well.
So far the few fish I've caught are hooked either while the jig is dropping, or being retrieved very quickly: standard yoyo fishing.
But be careful if you are used to grabbing your jigs! You might forget the hooks rest against the middle of the jig, instead of dangling from the end,
so they might bite you.
