Sam, sorry if I sound like a twat, but I was on that trip(cover shot august), and the trip before with Mogi. The Jigging Master boys and Mogi's boys use different connections, both of which have their pros and cons. Sean the author hasn't fished with the Jigging Master boys, he learned the connection in NZ.
Sean has another article coming out soon about the Coral sea, keep an eye out for it.
Cheers, Shane.
