PE8 overhead Jig reels??

<< < (5/6) > >>

Eric Tai:
Out of curiosity what rod are you gonna pair the blue heaven up with?

I'm wondering what rod options are there for deep (300m+) jigging. Smith 44 Mariana 300  comes to mind.

Neale Bird:
A JM 500 at this stage, max 500gm jig and rated to PE10... will keep you posted how it goes

Josh Morrison:
I do quite a bit of DEEP jigging in NZ (over 400m) and I use a Ocea Jigger 5000P. I have it spooled with Daiwa Saltiga Boat Braid PE6 (80lb) and it holds bang on 600m without backing. Other favoured overheads used in NZ for the very deep stuff is Shimano's Torsa 20 and 30 models.

Hon-Su Chin:
There's also the Torsa 40 with harness lugs as well.

Sachin Chaudhry:
I find the Torsa to be a solid and smooth reel but for my liking too heavy and too wide for jigging. Has much more wobble when you crank than say a Jigger or other narrow spool overhead like say an Accurate 665N.
