Bay of Islands- New Zealand Jigging
May 15, 2011, 06:16:16 PM
On 16th of December this year I am heading over to the Bay of Islands in NZ. I will be mostly jigging for Kingfish and I am just wondering what the fishing is like and also what would be the best reel for the job. I was thinking of getting a Penn Spinfisher 950ssm with a Wilson Live Fibre, but im not to sure that it will hold up?

Cheers
Jack

Had a trip over there last year and we fished around the "Hole in the Rock" one day. encountered kingi's up to 15kg, put a great battle on 30lb line. using shimano Torium 30 overheads.
