i'm going to place an order for some heavy irons since i cant find any out here. they're all into this vertical jigging shenanigans with butterflies and knife jigs.

im looking for 4-7oz irons.

i going to get a couple Sumo Jr.s in scramble egg and blue/chrome.

most of my fishing will be in 70-90ft and 4.5oz gets down fine but i want to hit some places in 200-250ft and the amber jack are usually 2/3rd of the way down or deeper so 6oz+ would come in handy.

Hey LP, I thought you fished out here long enough to be familiar with the heavy

I don't know what kind of fish you're targeting so I can't help much other than the following.
My faves have always been for

6x Jrs &

PL 68s and TADY 4/0s.
