Cam Foley:
The Blue Heavens are very expensive what about the Accurates half the price and twice as good.

warren yuile:

Greg Burt:
Accurate Boss Magnum 665 6:1 or 4:1 and new 2 speed 5:1 / 2:1 ;D
Don't get one with a cast control knob, no good on high drags. :-\

DaveIrving:
Have tried a lot of overhead jigging reels and by far the best one I have used is the Shimano Ocea Jigger 4000P.....not available in Oz but you can order it from overseas.  The reel is very smooth, perfect retrieve rate for jigging, narrow spool, 15Kg of drag, holds a lot of line and comes already fitted with a power handle that makes jigging so much easier.

As a back up the Accurate 665 (4:1) is also very good, although I would change the handle to make things easier!  ;)

Cheers

Dave

jerry dollar:
if you don't need the line capacity, the avet jx series, preferably the 2 speed. plenty of drag capacity for 50 lb line and with 2 speed you can move a jig in a hurry or grind him up when the times comes. i use avet lx and jx series for everything from tarpon to tuna, including sails and stripped marlin with no complaints.
