ocea jigger 4000 questions
Sam Beeby:
Thinking of getting either the 4000 (4.9:1 = 112cm) or the 4000P (4.1:1 = 92cm).
Curious what retrieve you think is better for kingy jigging in up to 150m of water? ie if using PE6 or 8 run out to 120m, I'm wondering what spool diameter would be remaining and whether the 4.1:1 would then be too slow down in the strike zone?
Normally I'd go straight for a 90cm'ish retreive but then I've always used a Z40 ishidai which is nowhere near as narrow and maintains its retrieve speed with a fair bit of line out, so am unsure.
Also, do the OJ's in the 4000/5000 size have a spool click?
Thanks for any help
Greg Burt:
All the Kiwi YTK overhead jiggers swear by the 4000P, Cam had his 5000P at Marion Reef working on the Doggies and was quite a hit with the crew, had Damon ducking for cover when he locked up :o.
I gave it a go too, not bad for an overhead ;D.
No clicker
MikeOsborn:
Only the trini40 narrows have spool click andf they are the most popular with my mates who also use them for livebaiting.
I would go the highest possible retrieve fishing for kings in that sort of depth. and the oj4000 is gold and pretty :D
Sam Beeby:
so the trini40 is the equivalent of the OJ4000 for frame/spool width/capacity, and the OJ5000 is wider again is it? Does the trini40 come with the same claimed 15kg drag or is it different/inferior to the jap spec model?
I could also just narrow down to the Saltiga 30T or Z30 ishi - dunno still thinking.
Greg Burt:
The Trinnie has the 15kg drag or go up to the Torsa with it's multi-cam drag system
