Synit DS 250 vs JM 3kings M vs ??

<< < (2/3) > >>

Josh Morrison:
Sounds good Travis, yeah mate I sold it as I have another new DS250 to use. The 8K FA I hardly ever used as I also have an SW10000PG which I use a lot more often.

Cheers,
Josh

I've got a JM Three Kings L matched to a Stella 8000PG running PE4 Ultra Jigman. It gets most of it's use jigging samsons off Perth and is a fantastic combo for 100-300gm jigs. I've also got a JM 3K M in overhead/Torsa 20/PE8 and this is a very nice combo but this rod would be too heavy for what you want. This comes out when I need to stop fish.

Travis Heaps:
Thanks guys, turns out my mate has a JM 3K M so in the interest of trying something different i've ordered myself a Synit DS250S from Fish Head.  Thanks for the help,
Travis

Hey Travis, I have a 3 Kings Medium with a JM PE5 reel running PE6 and it will fish this to the max!  Like others have said, A bit heavy for the PE4 - Try the light JM.  I also run a JM250 O/H with a Trinidad 16N and its ideal for the 200 - 300 gram jigs and PE4 - 5.

My PE4 spin outfit conisists of a SW 8000 Stella (HG) and a Smith AMJ 54H.  Its a nice outfit, but I must admit to to being in the "quick" range as far as retreives are concerned.  It no drama in shallow to mid depths or with the lighter jigs (up to 250) but it can get a little tyring in a long session in deep water with bigger jigs (particularly if the bites are few and far between).  I much prefer it for jigging centre weighted jigs from the hip rather than speed jigging with it under the arm - I use the overheads for that.  But I am getting old!

Cheers

Hi Travis, I have just aquired a MC Works Northern Blue 536HS as my PE5 rod that I will use with my SW8000PG. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but it's a real sweet piece of kit in the hands  8)
