Tax time so i get to spend some of the money we got back Ive got the rod just need to get a reel the rod is rated to pe4 to pe8 will be running 50lb and will be jigging in water between 60 to 120m deep. Its an overhead was thinking a trinidad 40n or a saltiga 40 or is there other reels i should look at. Also most of the guys in this area use 4500 saltigas as there spin set up for jigging what would be the shimano equal Woz

Rob Ciotucha:
Have a look at the Shimano Torsa's.  Have used these a few times jigging for samson fish and they work well, heaps of cranking power.

Cheers
Rob

Had a look at them nice reel but It didnt feel that comfortable with the handle position so low under the reel also a bit heavier than the others if I was going to use this reel for other things not just for jigging it would be my choise. Thanks Woz

aaron:

Chris Lian:
Hi Warren,

Have you looked at the Avet's in the JX range or even the Blue Heavens? They are light and strong. Have used them for Samsoms at Fremantle and have not had any issues.

Chris
