difference between bottom bashing and jigging

[NAGG]

Interestingly I was going to start a similar thread, so am finding this helpful. Am I right to think that if you want to have a go at jigging but you already had a TLD 20 or a 925 Alvey (please don't start the stella v Alvey thing again) that you use for bottom bashing on a 6' rod and use 50lb mono, then you could attach a knife jig and be sufficent to give it a go. Obviously a specialist rig would be better, but the above gear would be OK initally. I understand the retrevial speed would be slower, but is that the only issue??? I am not really worried about the stamina side (but could easily be proven wrong).

The TLD 20s fine ( a little slow) .... but these days knife jigs dont need blistering speed! ...... I used mono ( during my jigging days .... no such thing as braid)
But you could always top shot with a 120M of 50lb braid ...... & you're sweet!
I suggest a wind on 80lb-120lb mono leader though!

PS ..... Has anyone used a lethal leader for jigging ....... I reckon the bungy effect would be useful
