hey Jersey... them's southern boys... gig, spears something they don't allow up here... big time sport at night under the lights in shallow water...
I read it wrong, I thought it said rigs not gigs.
But even so I take a long handled telescoping crab net and to the other end fasten a gig. I can scoop crabs with the net or spear eels with the gig. When you shine the light they just hold still. I tie an old tire tube with a bushel basket stuffed inside to my belt. Lots of fun and now since I I've got a few themacell's it should be more enjoyable.
Dive shops sell telescoping gigs with the surgical rubber tubing to propel it.
Not legal in sweet water, but ok in the salt.
