Matching reel to Monster Mesh 5.8 PE6-8 overhead troll and BB

Hi guys

Been Hbday aqain and the boss gave me permission for a R&R combo.

Got the Diawa MM as above and would love to get the idea of the best reel to turn this into a slayer.

Rod code:mm582xhb-SIC.

Was thinking of a Torsa but I think it is overkill.

Will be for trolling and BB,

Neels

A Jigging Master PE6

A Jigging Master PE6 would be a perfact match for that rod if you want a reel with a bit more bling factor over a torsa.

Yeh PE6 reel would a great matchup. Leverdrag and relatively narrow frame.

I have an accurate BX600 on mine.

 

Daiwa Saltist star drag just doesn't do enough drag for PE6-8, perhaps after a washer upgrade. I wouldn't use a Torsa, the gearing is a little high for jigging.
