No luck on long jigs yet. ???
Still searching for the ultimate dog that's >80kg mark. :D

Ran into this problem jigging in Tonga. We'd come up tight on them, get a good first run and then lose it. Inspecting the jig afterwards, we'd find a nice set of peg teeth marks below the assist hook. :o
Might be worth considering a stinger hook, especially on a long jig. Gotta be quick to get off the bottom though!
For the record, long stroke worked best for us in Tonga. Can't wait to get back there and have another crack at them!

If the jig is long, it'll better to put another stinger hook at the bottom or center if the jig has additional eye.
For my case on using short jig, it ended up inside the dog throat. :) Long stroke works best for me as well and I don't let the jig touch the bottom when targetting doggies. Coloured PE line helps in this aspect.
