The 20000 is generaly regarded as having a better retrieve ratio for deep water jigging and it also has a much higher lin cap. As to whether you get the 20000 or an 8000 it depends on what you're targeteing and where. An 8000 might not have the line capacity to jig really deep water.

A mate of mine just bought a v fox jigging rod PE3-6 to use with a Saltiga Z-4500. So far first impressions are pretty good. Nice light/thin blank, good components. Loaded it up and it has a nice bend and plenty of pulling power.

Haven't tested it out on the water yet.

Stocked them a while ago, did'nt sell so my manager ended up with 2 of them.The little fella(150g) has a twin power 6000 with Pe 3 varivas on it and he has smacked up to 35kg fish on it in 30m of water. The other has a pro gear oc30 with pe 5 on it and he is happy with them. Apparently the blanks were based on the JM's and i have built the blanks up too, but i would go a JM any day over the V Fox. A mate that stocked them had warranty issue he said, not sure anymore.Different wholesaler i think?
