Do you think it could be the reel? Is the curado you using for jig fishing the same ratio as the one you use for texas rig fishing? Just thinking if when you reel down on the texas rig (Possible Highier Ratio) you are picking up more line than when you are jig fishing. Good job though I am still at the point where I am waiting to set the hook using a jig.

Loosen the drag like the others said. I also would go with a med/heavy set up. I use a 6 '6 med heavy with a shimano scorpion reel. i spool with 10 lb yozuri and never have a problem snapping lines on hooksets

Just an update, I was out jig fishing again this past weekend. The drag loosening trick was the ticket. I set my drag to about 80% and landed 3 good jig fish out of some really heavy cover with no problems. I wish I would have known about this 2 years ago. I was chasing what I thought were weak line issues all that time. You guys can't imagine how many busted off fish I have gone through during that time. Thanks again.
