Reel advise (jigging)
Submitted by cratertycho on Wed, 2011-02-16 20:53
Hi all,
Good day, i am pretty new to this forum, hoping to get some advise on reel to match my rod which i got it off a member here (Ryan).
Rod : kamikaze warlord sp 165 pe8 jig rod
My budget is around $300bucks, and i am hoping to get a lighter reel than the 1 i have now ( Finnor 7500, weights 900g), and has a line capacity of 250-300m on 70lb braided line.
So ar i am considering a few reels, Saltist 6500, Saragosa 8000 (less line capacity i think?)or Exceler 5000.
Any other reel suggestions?
Thanks.

Personally i would not run
Personally i would not run more then 60lbs through that rod due to breakages, doesnt mean its a bad rod though, just a heads up.

Go a Saragosa 18000, still lighter at 805grams but bigger line capacity. Get some PE6-80lb braid, will take around 450m or so.

Penn conquer 7000 or 8000(New Release) very smooth and quality built for the price and definitely beats anything in the price range its at.

Saragossa
Iv got a Saragosa 8000 and cant fault it, definately a good value for money reel, with a waterproof drag system and 10yr warranty :) Its the same physical size as the 6000 but with a bigger spool. Smooth as reel too. I would look at putting tournament 8 accu Depth PE braid by daiwa although it may blow your budget, but fishing heavy PE, this has a phenominally small diametre. Otherwise i wouldnt go over pe 3 for normal braided line...

Elora Danan is flogging a Sustain 8000 loaded with 30 lb accudepth and another spool with pe4 YGK Jigman for 300 bucks.
maybe a bit light on for the rod, but great value for money and well within the budget.

Jigging reel
A few good reels mentioned above, most within your price range.
Another good value reel to look at is the Okuma Salina II 16000. Lightweight and powerful.
