Last couple of years guys in my boat use half jigs half blades. Foul hooking not a problem with either. I can remember two fish foul hooked, easy to release. Advantages of blades, no bait, castable when fish want it away from the boat, sometimes I notice guys drag jigs when they cast them away from the boat. I use blades 90 percent of the time but always have jigs in the boat, give them a try
