new reel for jigging
Mahmoud Salem:
The bigger ones definitely deserve pe8
You can use the rod with lighter line, but why use a rod with a lot of lift power if you cant apply enough drag to lift the fish, in this case most of your lift will just be line taken by the fish
Arnout Weber:
Hello mahmoud,
I have the idea that you wand to tell me that in your opinion the rod is to heavy
to have fun with mid side fish ( 25 - 50 kg).
I also have a valley hill deepquaker with jig weight between 200 and 300 gr.
i wand a second rod for jigs between 250 and 350 gr.
Best regards,
Arnout.

But do you really need more as 300m PE 6?
What are your ideas?

Arnout,
Dogtooth tuna can dump 200 meter in less than a minute and you can't do anything about it, you will look and pray that he will make a mistake and stop.
Most Doggies shoot to the deepwater and to the drop off once they are hooked so line capacity is something to look for and take into consideration when targeting Dogtooth tuna,
Many guys actually prefer the usage of PE6 just for the line capacity.

Sammi,
How many meters of line do you put on a reel?
I ask this because for example varivas has got spools of 300 and 600m.
I also wondering how strict i have to take the rating PE8 for the 5215.
Isn,t it comfortable with PE6. In the past i have seen it with Biggame fishing, a lot of
boats used 80lbs rods with 130 line for example ( that,s what they told).
I am still not convinced about which reel it,s going to be. I have 2 Stella 08 and i like the 8000 for the way i use it.
And the 10000 for jigging. But for me personally it is to small or i don,t know what. The saltiga z6000 feels OK to me.
Well i have got stil 4,5 months to think about it for my next trip.
Best regards,
Arnout

Hi Arnout,
I prefer to have a minimum of 350 meters of line when targeting Doggies, your PE6 line should be fine but I personally prefer to use PE8 :)
As for the reel i guess i am not the right guy to comment on, I am a Shimano Guy and a bit fanatic about it :D
but a 20000 size reel is the way to go even if you intend to use PE6 line, what work for me personally might not work for others...
