I only fly fish. In the deeper water I will go down to my backing if I have to. Don't use any jelly's, haven't need to .....yet[
].
I will say that I prefer my depth charge (250 grains 6wt rod) over my type V. It is 30' of lead core with 60' of intermediate and when you pull the fly it draggs the bottom. Great for leeches and crayfish. Intermediate is also great for fishing the shore lines. I do use type II for the same effect on wind day's (which I know are rare at the Berry[cool]) I do pack three rods out on my pontoon ready to go and sometimes carry the 4th. Don't loose time or equipment that way. I take: 1 intermediate 1 Type II 1 Depth Charge and 1 with floating and a 30' leader for deep nymphing (like your jigging).
