ocea jigger 4000 questions

<< < (3/3)

Sam Beeby:
I'd always thought that the 4:1 would be more appropriate for the same reason that evryone jigs with the 20,000 stella's and EXP6500's over the 10,000's and dogfights - just more mechanical advantage over jig and fish - but then again i've never really jigged with fast reels so I can't really compare.

As far as the 40N versus OJ4000 drag goes, would a carbontex job  on the 40N make it competitive with the OJ4000's or are the drag stacks designed completely differently in the OJ's eg wider etc?

Chris Wong:
I import a range of Carbontex drag washers and Cals drag components especially for the OJ's and TN's.  I can state that the drag stack for OJ4000/5000 is exactly the same as TN40N.  The OJ4000P/5000P is different because of the lower gear ratio.  The drag washers on the P model are 2mm smaller in diameter than those of the OJ4000/5000 and TN40N because of the smaller diameter main gear. So it would seem that the P models have slightly LESS drag than the higher speed reels.

We have specially cut Carbontex drag washers for the smaller diameter OJ4000P/5000P.  These upgrades lift the factory drags from "15kg" up to 25kg so far.  This may vary between individual reels though.
