PE 4 Jigging Combo ideas

Interested to hear what people are using

Currently have a great pe2 outfit that I use in shallow water, but looking for a slightly heavier combo that will allow me to fish a range of depths from 80 to 250m.

Most of the time it is jigs, but did go back to bait on the weekend and we did ok

Heres an idea of what im looking for.

Overhead reel prefer star drag but its not a deal breaker

Capacity around 400m of a quality braid with a BS of around 50lb, more interesting in actual breaking strain as opposed to a PE rating

Rod options will be a bit harder I imagine,as would like to be able to jig with it, but also drop sinkers if the fish arent playing ball

Budget, mid to higher end gear

Happy to hear what you are using or what you would suggest

 

Cheers

Rick

 Im running a levitate

 Im running a levitate 200-500g amd maxel 50ch. Nice piece of gear but dunno if id drop a sinker on it. The slow pitch rods bend quite a bit but would probably handle it. The guides on the slowpitch rods are pretty small too. The maxel 50 is very nice for the price. Got around 500m of tasline 30lb (50lb) on it. Ive got this combo for the deeper stuff as well.
