Spinning or Conventional best for Jigging?

(1/3) > >>

Jason Lai:
Hi, has anyone tried heavy jigging on Spinning or Conventional before? Which is more ease & suitable for that purposed.

Jamie Moir:
Certainly there seems to be more power from the big OH reels.

Mark Harris:
This is an age old debate and there are VERY differing opinions :).

Personally I cannot get to grips with jigging with a conventional set up be it light or heavy, no matter how much I (used to) try.

However, many people I know do insist that it is easier on the body especially with heavy jigs. Shimano Ocea Jigger and the Accurate Boss ranges seem to be the most popular reels.

Chris Webster:
Hi Jason,

I can jig comfortably with both but prefer spinning.
I tried to get into OH for a while but the Saltiga called me back.

I also think that if you are fishing for huge fish you cant beat the OH for the amount of hurt you can put on the fish....

Just my 2 cents worth :-)

Actually that was the split for me. My 15lb outfit is right-handed spin, pretty much everything above that is left-handed OH.
