i was taught by some wise
i was taught by some wise people from this sight to leave your hooks off your jigs and have them rigged up hook, split ring and swivel and attach them to ya jig when ready to use and just swap them over to different jigs as you go. makes jigs easier to store and you dont need to keep cutting off and tying on jigs. also stretch before especially your lower back!!! good luck

thats the way mate, so much
thats the way mate, so much easier to do it like that. last thing you want to do is be tying knots every time you want to change jigs. but if theyre on the chew they will hit just about anything so jig changes wont be neccesary. you could consider using better quality swivels however i used to use shoguns for all my fishing, jigging included and ive never had one break. only upgraded to keep up with the Joneses!!!

If you do a search, there's plenty of info on sambo jigging.
I've had a few mates fly over for weekend jigging trips - don't be upset if the weathers too crapola to get out though.

Barges
The barges are where the Samson fish congregate, and that's where you fish for them!!

"legends"
Don't know about the legends tag too much, but if the weather is good and the sharks aren't an issue, you'll go home dragging your knuckles along the ground like an ape, them things pull HARD!! especially after your 5 or so fish!! I went out last season for 3.5 hrs and we boated 17 fish up to 40kg, as a consequence I struggled to lift my arms for a week!! It's strange, but we call this fun!!

I will register interest to head out to the barges in the tub but will be dependent on winds. Can probably fish one more out of ours, would be good if a few more are heading out. Swing by the quokka arms on the way in for a well earned bevy!

mate you are gonna LOVE that
mate you are gonna LOVE that rod, I used the over head 3K-M in NZ and it is sweet as. As for drag settings, go as hard as you dare and see if you like it. Keep your forearm straight and pivot through your hips and knees, makes it way easier to fight a fish and you'll last the distance- if you keep lifting with your arm only you'll burn out. And no high sticking. If you don't like it man up! You're flying the flag for SA so do us proud.
With your rigging, I try to avoid the split ring being in the connection straight to the fish. Instead try to loop your assist hook to the swivel direct instead. Josh ("accident prone" on here) uses this and lands some monster kingies and takes the doubt of the split ring opening up away, I've lost a good fish through this happening so never again. Also tie up your own assist hooks. Get some hooks (Owner SJ41 or 51, Fisherman Shinden or JM hooks) and some #50 red jig cord and do up a batch. Cheaper and you know what the quality is.
try this:
http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/f172/gmans-intro-vertical-jigging-67557.html
on the second page there are tying instructions but the rest is worth a read too.
Good luck, you'll have a ball, there's nothing comparable to sambo jigging is SA.

for some reason it won't let
for some reason it won't let me attach a photo so I'll try to explain it.
Tie your leader to the top ring of your swivel using either a uni or locked half blood knot. Loop your assist hook (exactly how you did to your split ring in your photo) onto the bottom ring of your swivel. Thread a split ring onto this bottom ring and attach your jig to this.
All you are doing it taking the split ring out of the direct connection to the fish, it is just there to hold your jig now. The advantage is you can use a smaller split ring as there is only minimal weight on it.
I used to use the method in your photo until I opened up a split ring on a good fish once and lost the lot. This was a heavy ring and I was spewing as it was the only good hook up I had all day.

Gman's jigging basics is on a few sites, there is one for popping as well stickied right next to it.
I've always just attached my solid ring to my split, but there is another way to do it shown below.

Yeah guys im keen to take the boat out.
Reckon ill be out nearly every weekend over the Sambo season!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
