PE8 overhead Jig reels??

<< < (2/6) > >>

Hon-Su Chin:
why not get a Daiwa Seaborg Megatwin 750?? Holds plenty!! lol

Neale Bird:
Ryan told me about them yesterday, i think ill stick to the conventional for now

Luke Ryan:
in my opinion the best reel would be the L120, i fit 575m of PE6 varivas on mine and use it for all my deeeeeeppp jigging, its lever drag lighter and overall quite a small reel with more then enough power for its size, the OJ is too heavy and too big even tho its not very wide its way too high i reckon plus do you want a star drag, i had a play with a PE 4 jm reel and was not impressed, felt cheap to me, i saw an accurate the other week and was really impressed but still heavier then the L120, i think the saltiga would also get a bit clumsy cause its quite a wide reel. i would only look at the L120 or the accurate's and forget about the rest.

just my 2c

Hon-Su Chin:
if you can get the Ishidai Z40 it'll be awesome. Ive got the smaller one Z30 and Ive fitted 400yds of 65lb whiplash. So the Z40 probably 500yds of the same line??

Yes the L120 is a very good awesome. Holds enough line there and looks good as well!!
Are the blue ones still got gold trim or is it now blue and silver???

Shane Hartstone:
Hi Neale, Im jigging in 300m plus, targeting 20-45kg Bass in New Zealand.  Using OJ5000 with 500m of PE8 Ultra Jigman.  What sort of fish are you targeting?  These Bass are bottom huggers, so we only lift our jigs ten meters off the bottom,  I'm of the opinion that a Non-jig reel could be used, maybe a tyronos 30 two speed?  Bit heavier, but if its capacity you want, could be an option.
I hear all the Hard core jiggers out there turning their noses up at that suggestion...
