Best Jigging Rod circa $500

<< < (2/2)

David DeCourcy:
Yamaha blanks Galahad 52/10. Light at 290 gms but with a strong spine. I've hauled up groupers , oceanic White tips from 80 meters plus.
Got a daiwa Catalina 5000 spooled with varivas no. 5. I use daiwa 80 lb fluro leader, jig 200 to 250 gms.
Light but strong setup.

David DeCourcy:
Only area of dissatisfaction on the YB 52/10 is the reel seat. With fish around the 15 kg and above weight the reel seat feels wobbly. Reel feels it may come loose when cranking the fish up.
