Title: What reel for Jigwrex S605?
Post by: Travis Heaps on June 23, 2008, 05:05:59 PM

Ordered a new Jigwrex S605 - 2 piece/6ft/PE5 today.  Was wondering what reel people would recommend for it?  Will be used for jigging but also as a "boat rod" of sorts - trolling/livebaiting from the kayak  (gloat :P ordered it for a kayak fishing trip to Dirk Hartog we've got coming up next year  :P gloat over ::))

Hey Travis, I saw that trip and reckon it would be awesome, is the distributor providing you with a kayak? 
Have fun gearing up for it.  I'm considering a smaller Jigging Master powerspell rod which I can use in the kayak!
