Past 100' and I'd also use some glow.  Heck I use glow at all depths.

I've seen those - Marque from Coastside # 2 sells 'em.

Promethean_Spark--------Well Thank You...!!!....Your explanation of the rational behind "why fish are attracted to an iron jig" banging away on the bottom-rocks finally helps me to understand how these things attract and catch fish.

I have not ever jigged with iron.   Not ever.   I've seen those things in the stores and because I could not fathom how they would work, or that they would work, or why......I refused to have anything to do with them.

Now that I know the rational behind them, I'll try them.

Judd,

I just got my first few iron fish last weekend and half the time it didn't even hit the bottom before it was hammered.

I only said you got bonus points for bottom banging.  It works scuba and freediving too, find something crunchy like a sea urchin or hydrocoral and make it crunch.  Critters start coming out of the woodwork when they hear that.

I have some homemade diamond jigs that I spray painted silver.  They caught fish even after all the paint had been banged off of them.  I'm pretty convinced that anything past a two-toned paint job is just paying extra so it looks pretty in the tackle box - at least for norcal fish.

I just picked up a 40 lb box of lead from Costco tire shop. The guys said they usualy have to turn it in to a special hazardous waste guy but since no one was looking!!! I figured on these cold winter nights in Tahoe I could learn to pour.
