new reel for jigging

<< < (3/3)

Arnout Weber:
hello sammi,

i think i keep it by PE8. it is the rod recomention and a bit extra power is not bad i always say.
I will think about the reel and make a choice.

best regards,

arnout

Peter Childs:
Armout, I use a Saltiga 6500 for doggies loaded with high quality PE6 it is amazing how much pressure you can apply with PE6 over a jig outfit (next time you reef your jig - try busting it off without driving the boat off it).

 I started off with PE8, but found (like many others) that stronger currents and drift rates play havoc jigging with the Pe8.  I'd suggest starting out with PE6 and only change up if you start getting regularly dusted. 300 plus should be more than adequate for most situations.
