Demersal jigging/SP combo
Submitted by Tandawg on Sun, 2011-01-02 18:39
Hi all, a very Happy New Year to everyone.
I am (up to this point) an uncoverted bait fisherman.
I would really like to broaden my fishing horizon by targetting some of the more popular demersals using jigs and SPs.
Knowing that I will only be doing this type of fishing in less frequency than bait fishing, I am chasing a combo which certainly wont damage the bank.
Is $150-200 too little to ask? Don`t want to sound like a cheap skate, but I cant warrant buying expensive gear for something I won`t do as often.
Probably be spooling with 30lbs max.
Thanks in advance
Chris

i reckon $300 would get you an okay outfit
go a 4000 size spin reel and a 7 foot graph comp spin rod which is nice and lite. I have been using 20lb for jigging for snaps and dhu but a nice thin 30lb will do. some 20 to 40lb mono or flurocarbon leader and you are away!!
FEEEISH ONNN!!!

Cheap jigging combo....
Yeh, $200 doesnt really get much unless you're happy with a low end reel with a glass rod.
I'd go around $300-400 And trust me, you'll use it more often than you think.
Rods can be had relatively cheaply. Here's a couple we recommend, they're all well under $200
Pflueger Trion 7ft 6-10kg
Eupro Twincraft 6'2 PE 1.5 to 3.0
The reel I would spend more money on as it does take a lot of punishment as well.
These are some of the better value reels that can handle a bit of punishment.
Same as well at under $200
Shakespeare Arsenal 040
Daiwa Legalis 3000-4000
Daiwa Exceller 3000-4000
Shimano Symetre 4000FJ
Then add about $70-90 for good quality 20-30lb braid.
If you can, drop by and check out whats available and whats suits you. We're open on Monday 3rd as well.

figure out
figure out what you want by browsing a store for a couple of hours then ebay mate! even if its just reel and braid from ebay and rod from the store (if your like me youd be worried to open a shipped rod once you get it, guides could be all busted up!) and youll save yourself a good amount of money. sufix 832 is great google cabelas (thats where i got mine)
