Jigging Master, Fallings Limited.

Submitted by rockfire on Thu, 2012-11-15 22:09

 Hi Guys,

Im hoping you can help me out.

Ive decided to purchase a Jigging Master, Fallings Limited rod. I have my heart set on the Fallings Limited range but I cant decide between the 100~260g (PE 3-6) and the 200~400g (PE 4-8) model.

All my life ive been fishing (bottom bashing) with a Live Fibre 15kg~24kg rod with a huge trolling reel loaded with 50lb mono. Ive decided to acsend from the dark ages and start using braid (50lb).

Most of my fishing with the new setup will be between 40m and 150m depth, but mainly around the 50m. My style of fishing is mainly bottom boucing with an occasional jig.

Now, my question is, which out of the two mentioned rod ratings would you recommend for my style of fishing? Im aware braid has less drag through the water compared to mono, however due to my non existant experience fishing with braid, Im finding it difficult to gauge the difference with sinker requirements when dealing with high drift. Also, jigging rods are completly different to what ive been using.

Once again, I have my heart set on the Fallings Limited range (dont ask me why, I think its the high price tag :)) and there are no weight option between 100~260g and 200~400g.

Basically, I dont want a rod that is too lite or too heavy. Im thinking the 200~400g just to be on the safe side.

Thanks again people and I hope ive provided enough info.

I just bought the evo

I just bought the evo titamium in the 300 gram model (pe3-6) to do just what you describe. I have a lighter combo for my demersal jigging and this combo will be my bottom basher/sambo jigger/heavy demersal jigger. Although since I started jigging I pretty much refuse to bottom bash now. With braid I rarely go over 24oz lead.

 You might find the Jigging

 You might find the Jigging Master Three Kings Special a better option for your style of fishing. The blank shouLd be able to handle a wider range of weights which could be what you are after. Although I'm sure the UL would suit 50lb braid I think you should look at the L for your set up.

That or a Black Hole Cape Cod special 250G.
