[cool][#0000ff]Hey Jack, you don't even want to think about buying those big jigging spoons...unless you won the lottery. Some of those babies cost up to $10 apiece, and the rocks eat them like candy.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Shoot me a PM and let me know what area you will be fishing, and for what species. If you are fishing 100 feet deep I am thinking you will be going after cabrilla and grouper, with maybe some big triggerfish and assorted bottomfish thrown in. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Those slab spoons will take anything down there, short of marlin. But, I also have some big spearhead jigs that you can decorate with plastic and they work great too. I can also make you up some hair jigs or feather jigs that you can sweeten with a piece of fish meat and really smack those fish.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I don't know of any salt water tackle shop in Phoenix, but there is one or two in Tucson. At least there used to be, before Mexico got so wierd on their tourist requirements and a lot of guys quit going down there.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Otherwise, both Cabelas and Bass Pro have saltwater tackle sections. Check with me before you buy anything. Other than a stout rod and good reel with heavy line, you don't need all that much. And, if you take your tube down, you can fish right off the beach with freshwater gear and have 200 fish days. That's how I prefer to fish it down there.[/#0000ff]
