jigging

[hornet]

Where are you going to fish, jigging is for boats really. I can't think of any pier that would produce fish by jigging

The only pier I can think of is Lorne pier ? with species passing through that ocean current ?

Along with kelp as soon as you hit the bottom

I've never fished Port Albert but in all seriousness, you will just get snagged. Some people micro jig off piers for Salmon and the like but you don't need a big heavy outfit for that. What species are you trying to jig?

anything that swims really

so my bait caster or one of my spin outfits would work for some light jigging?

Sure would mate, the 2-4 kilo rod you mentioned that you had should do the trick. That way if the jigs don't work you can put on a plastic or even a blade. I would by some Gulp turtleback worms in pumpkinseed color and a 1/4 oz jig head and bounce it off the bottom

i have these really nice yabby/ crab soft plastics that i reckon would work?

When you say jigging, do you mean bouncing a soft plastic or jigging a metal blade (which commonly vertical)?
