Ocea Jiggers seem the Jigging rage

Can someone explain to me why. I have no jigging outfit, and moving back to Mandurah full time. That means thinking off it.

But I have never even looked at one but everyone (almost) raves about it.

yeah I know what you mean, every body is doing it, this jigging thing is just another method of catching fish, I prefer not using bait myself.

The smallest ocea jigger (at least when I got mine) was a pg1500NR, I run it with PE3 and it has a Lot more balls than a Stella 5000 in terms of cranking power. Drag is a bit weak, but upgrade to carbontex fixed that. This size is pe3, way too powerful for pe2. A 4000 shimano size spin reel is preferable for pe2.. Hard to get light jigs to pull line off the overhead spool on pe2, hence spin better.
