Pe3 reel suggestions
Submitted by scano on Tue, 2012-11-27 19:45
G'day all,
After just having sold my little tyrnos 10 to a fellow site member I am in the market for an upgrade. It's to go on an xzoga taka ba100-60 pe 1-3 rod. Now my little tyrnos did me well but I am after something a little more specky and with some more bling.
my thoughts so far are
saltiga z20 overhead star drag
perhaps a jigging master power spell?
shimano tranx
will mainly be used for 20-40 m bottom fishing with baits chasing snapper and Dhuies ect.
my main preference thus far would be the saltiga as I do really like daiwa products but I am open to better suggestions.

Oh
And I really like the idea of a nice star drag as I already have a couple of bigger lever drags (talica, tld 25 ect.)
If anyone can throw up some better suggestions or ideas than the saltiga z20 I would love to hear them.
cheers

Salti would be nice, even better would be oceajigger 1500 narrow :) had both, like both but the Ocea is super nice for jigging

Agree with Simon C, ocea
Agree with Simon C, ocea jigger 1500 would be nice also JM powerspell PE3 is a sweet little reel, nice and compact, had a play with one earlier in the year and would have bought it if it wasnt left handed

I got the same combo with a z30 awesome smashed some good bottom dwellers but also used it up the creek knocked over a big black Jew piece of piss got another z30 on a hiramassa 60 b awesome as well
We feel nothing but a certain difficulty in continuing to stand

Ocea jigger 1500 NR all the
Ocea jigger 1500 NR all the way, great PE3 reel, however if you are hauling up sinkers etc rather than jigging then maybe the lower ratio of a JM reel would suit you better than the much faster Jigger.
You might also look at one of the Trinidad A reels
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

thanks for the input guys
going to borrow a mates Saltiga Z30 for the next trip out and see how that goes.
i love the look of those new Ocea Jigger (would probably go the 2000 size as it has more drag pressure) but being a Jap only delivery reel i am not sure i want to buy from overseas.
would rather buy something in oz to al least get some form of warranty if something goes wrong

I may be wrong, but think you
I may be wrong, but think you can get the Trinidad A locally which is quite similar to the OJ

The Saltiga star drags are
The Saltiga star drags are certainly an awesome reel. I actually ended up getting a Daiwa Ryoga Bay Jigger instead though to get the level wind (it is for the wife).
