I like the idea of reading structure and birds and surface and flows and seams and currents and all that stuff. I guarantee that I’m about the worst jigger in the country but that only leaves room for improvement
I do have a lot of jigs though, I’m super keen to try these “Tuna Killer” jigs as they have an off edge on em that makes them dart randomly…hell if I know but it could work.

Those jigs will work just fine, at least in the upper north island (I can't speak for other areas of the country). You'll be able to catch more or less everything you'd want to catch with them. As for barracouta, a short kevlar or wire leader will prevent excessive jig losses and I doubt it would reduce your catch rate of desirable species too much.
