Tyrnos 12 jigging?

<< < (2/2)

Sean Costello:
Biggest issue in jigging with a tyrnos is the lack of a one-way bearing to stop the backwards movement in the handle, tyrnos has anti reverse dogs(the clicking noise). The backwards movement in the handle will drive you nuts while jigging, personally i wouldnt bother trying with it.

Matt Kris:
Yep the anti reverse ended up being the pain. I tried jigging deep schools of tuna with it but ended up using my 4500z saltiga instead.

Trolling it was great though. Got about a dozen tuna 15-25kg on the tyrnos spooled with 65lb tuffline on a saltiga 55b deep. Had the cam done up as much as it would go without loosing free spool and the reel didn't skip a beat even when running it at sunset (running one rod each with 2 people in the boat, double hook ups one after another so wanted to land em quick haha).

Definitely not suited to jigging but a reliable mid priced live baiting/trolling reel.

Cheers
