OH Reel advice
Submitted by Cameron71 on Thu, 2012-10-18 20:35
Did a little deal with Hesh as a result of which the Torsa 20 off my jigging master power spell PE 4-8 is now his.
I need a replacement. Thinking about a talica or saltiga (not sure which saltiga). I will mostly bottom bash with the odd pretense at knowing something about jigging. No deep drops. Don't like fishing any deeper than 100m if I can help it.
I need something with grunt but lighter than the Torsa.
What does everyone think?

Can't speak more hightly of
Can't speak more hightly of my Talica 10, its a little tank, but so light and easy to use. It just fits in the palm of your hand.
I like it so much I'm gonna grab a 16 for the 100m plus stuff

JM powerspell PE5n?
just recently got one, haven't fished with it yet but like how it feels from spooling it up, got bit over 400m sunline deep one pe5 (60lb) set the strike drag at about 8kg (hope the rod can handle it) and gear ratio of 4:1 plenty of cranking power.
Cheers Yewie

+1 for Talica
Cam - Got the 8 (II) and 10 (I), awesome reel by all means. I'd get the 10 if you're seeking light weight and enough capacity, but 12 is absolute max for 100-150m.
Very happy with the Torsa, cheers for that ... awesome once spooled with the 6Kg green Big Game mono, in readiness for the season.
P.S. a cheaper option (Saltist LD40H) if you're keen (450m of 50lb braid). Not bad for it's price! Bought it before I bought your Torsa, so no need for it now
Cheers,
Hesh

Forgot to mention fishing
Forgot to mention fishing 50-60lb.
Will I get enough on a talica 10 or would 12 be the go?
Thanks for your replies so far.

you will get plenty on the 10
you will get plenty on the 10 but the drag on the 12 is a fair bit stronger.

10 will take 535yds of 50lb -
10 will take 535yds of 50lb - drag 20lb
12 will take 700yds of 50lb - drag 40lb
(Ps I'd stick with the single speed - less mechanical failure)
Cheers,

Talica 8
I have a talica 8 loaded with PE4 Daiwa Boat Braid (55lb) - works a treat. Nice and compact to.
Also worth looking at the JM Powerspell PE 4 or 5.

Powerspell
Hi mate,
Another option to consider would be the Jigging Master Powerspell series. We have the PE4 instock at the moment which will take approx 400m of PE4. As Yewie mention the PE5 narrow is another popular reel which I will have coming back into stock when our supplier has them back in. Otherwise if it is just for general bottom bouncing and a little bit of jigging than the PE6 will be perfect. Feel free to drop past and check them out.
