New pint-sized jig reel: Ajiking Pro Jigger
Submitted by Ben Derecki on Tue, 2010-04-06 11:39
Hey guys
Just a heads up on the new Ajiking Pro Jigger for anyone interested in light PE 2-4 jig reels.
Specs for the reel are as follows:
- weighs 400g
- high speed gear ratio of 6.0:1
- 6 stainless steel ball bearings
- max drag 15kg carbon drag washers
- twin position handle options
- lever drag
- aircraft grade aluminium housing
- deep spool holds up to 360m of PE 4
- available in red, blue, green, silver or gold
Here's the glamour shot of the reel:
With a couple of extra shots to illustrate the actual size:
... versus Saltist 30 (size comparison only)
... versus Nokia N95
... versus my hand
You can find a bit more detail and the colour options on our website: http://www.fourfish.com.au/index.php?p=4_6
Cheers

Yeah I'm sure the MXL was a source of inspiration for the PJ. Few differences there, price included.

Are these a new model? Seen the reels before, and someone mentioned there was a new model coming up but not sure when the revision was supposed to come out?
I have doubts it really is quite as strong as claimed. 15kg drag pressure means you could run PE5-8 on it... whether it would hold up to that for long is a different question. Though they're pretty light as a lighter class overhead reel anyways. Seemed pretty cheap too (perhaps enough to at least find out how they last).
Not fair to compare it to a saltist 30 though, seems more comparable to a saltist LD20 (or avet SX as mentioned)

Yeah as far as I know these
Yeah as far as I know these are the Gen 2 models, main change I know of is the bearings have been upgraded.
Thx for the pickup with the Saltist 30, the comparison was solely for size as I was assuming most people would know the size of that reel. I didn't think that people might see it as a like-for-like comparison. Will edit the comment.

nice looking reel
terrible gearing (IMO) for a jigging reel.
I'll stick with my LD30.

The LD30 has a 6.3:1
The LD30 has a 6.3:1 ratio..... (unless you have a two speed and only use low). Pretty similar (considering spools are similar size hence gear ratios are roughly comparable)

2 speed
gear ratio of 6 for jigging is crap.

If it's the same size as my avet sx, then 6:1 gearing is fine, because the spool is so small.

Better off buying a PE3 or 4
Better off buying a PE3 or 4 Jigging Master reel or Blue Heaven if you have the cash. I love my PE4 limited matte black JM reel though :)
