I'm not as brilliant as most, and by no means an expert, but light tackle is whatever works for you. When I first started jigging I was using an ugly stick and 30 lb braid and was thrilled...then I moved to lighter weight rods such as carrot stix and 15-20 lb braid. Now I don't jig with anything but a custom rod, Medium Fast and 10 lb braid after realizing the majority of these fish with the drags you can apply to them can't break 10 lb braid even if you put some good heat on 'em. I guess the better I get (and I still only catch 3-4 fish a year), the lighter the tackle I use. In high current situations, I use some heavier stuff, but when the fish swim with the current, my lighter stuff just cant handle it.

when I jig tuna, if they are 300-500 lb bluefin, I'm using a 500 g rod with an avet and 100 lb braid, when they are smaller I use a 350 or 250 g and 50 lb braid...I guess experience and the situation dictate. But hell, like I said, I"m not a Tidalflush or CBDangler expert, I just learned to fish on the world wide interweb

I have a bunch of different rods, reels and lines for different fish. for my ultra light rod I use 1 to 6 lb test line mostly for Trout and other small pan fish, bass, pickerel ect. for my medium tackle I use 6 to 1o lb test line, I use that for mostly smaller fish but in areas where I may get more snags, but I can still bring in larger fish, my medium heavy tackle is 10 to 30 lb test line, I use this when im targetting mant species in the bay but especially Rockfish. heavy tackle 30 to 50 lb for jigging heavy metal and surf rods. 80lb on my trolling rods..all the rods have the class on them and all my lines are braid. its always good when catch and releasing fish to go as heavy as possible so you can get them in as quikly as possible. it don't make you anymore of a man by using very light tackle and torturing the fish for long periods of time
