Hi Guys,

Has anyone on here used any of their rods?

A mate sent me a link via crackbook and I've not seen or heard of them.

Any feed back would be good, I am considering one of their ultra light overhead jig rods for a Ryoga C1012.

Cheers
Jimmy

 Ive had a search but rods come out all the time so thought i would ask again.

Will be running a biomaster 5000 with pe2 so looking at a pe1-3 rod.

Ive had suggested the fwa plastics rod and a catalina.

Just after some more suggestions. Will be used soley for plastics and willing to spend up to around 500max 

Thanks zac

 Trying to get gear sorted for a jigging trip in nz on enchanter next month. If anyone has done this can you give me a bit of a list of things to take etc what size leaders, how many jig and sizes, or anything else you can think off. 

Hey guys just bought myself a new combo Ecooda Hornet PE 3-4 matched with a Sustain 6000FG. completely new to jigging but cant wait to get out there and give it a go. Anyone else have any experience with Ecooda rods?

cheers

I am looking to build a demersal jig rod and have a couple of blanks in mind. A JM Super Tornardo 60 UL PE 1.5-4, 100- 230 gram jig and the other is a Xzoga Taka 60 PE3 3-5 kg drag max 10 and a max jig weight of 230 grams. Wondering if anyone has thoughts or other suggestions. The JM is apparrently the same as a three kings but slightly longer at 6 foot. I will be using a saltiga z4500 with 30 lb braid

 Finished my jig bag won in king of the cape this year. Thanks to all the organises in the comp. gonna test them next time I'm out on the water.

 Need some help selecting a rod and reel for the trip was thinking 18000 stella matched up with a x12 temple reef rod but the problem is I have never held or seen a temple reef in person so I am only selecting a rod from what I have read has any one got any recommendations 

 bought some jigs from a online store in singas  and they gave me some extras but I dint know what they are  ? Im sure someone will know cheers.

 Thinking about going custom if I can't find anything, but looking for a rod around 6' - 6' 2'', fast tapper, nice light tip, PE2, something that can easily jig 30g jigs & but mostly plastics (1/2 oz. - 2oz) . Any suggestions? Runnning an Abu Salty Stage PE3 at the moment, but finding it hard to run the lighter jigheads & jigs. Prepared to save $$$

No monster fish were caught but with over 80 - 90 AJ's and about 7- - 80 Trevally caught along with a mixed bag of kings, cod, snapper, tuskies ...... it wasn't a bad day.

 Would a DB combi jerk be a good rod to jig sambo's and dhus? Any recommendations around 300bux max. I'm a 90% breamer but have access to a 6.5meter ali and have a stradic 5000. Also what length leader do you run for sambo's? Dont jig enough to buy multiple setups just looking for a all rounder.  Cheers

Hi fellars recently purchased a gomoku overhead light jig rod in blue which is the heavier one, just want some recommendations on a suitable reel

 done of bit of sambo jigging at the wrecks etc do they school up on big reef  lumps as well as I'm not having much luck trying for them on anything other than the  wrecks 

Hey guys, what pound leader do you use for sambo jigging? 

Cheers, max

Has any one used a Major Craft Crostage CRJ S60/5 PE 2-4 before...Any thoughts on the rod?

More and more I'm questioning myself about the Japanese jigging techniques and how they seem to rig assists on top and bottom of the jig. Anyone do this? And have you found you've had a better hook up rate or a better loss of jig rate?

Thanks

 for those that tie there own assist hooks what pound cord do you use for general demersal stuff?

Hey everyone,

Ive been a long time spectator of the site and finally signed up. This site has helped me immensely so im now hoping i can share what little knowledge i have and also gain some more.

Im in the market for a new demersal jigging rod and was wondering if anyone has used the Yamaga Galahad range before? I am looking at the galahad 604b (6' pe4 overhead) and will be matching it with a Marquesa ma20 running pe3.

Cheers,

Kyle

Hi jiggers, just need some help with identifying some jigs. i know the bottom one is a seven seas hooker. gold jig is a smith jack knife i think. and the pink jig with large eyes is an fcl labo. the rest i have no idea. bought it off a mate who no longer jigs. Cheers in advance

 Hi

has anyone used either the Okuma Cortez, Fin Nor Offshore overhead 30? For rods, has anyone used the rovex carbon tec or the okuma cedros rods? Also if you know of a good jigging rod and reel under $270 that would be good to know too. It will be used for sharks, jigging for tuna and reef fish and also catching stingrays.

 Anyone know best jig for Redfin perch? Heard if can be effective around snags. Some people say soft plastics but not sure

 hi guys, wondering if anyone has this rod. It's probably 2010 era with a thickish grip.not the split style.I matched it at the time with a Penn spinfisher 850 the US made one for bottom bashing, trolling basically a bit of everything with 50lb braid. It has a great action on the troll but always found it too stiff in the tip for bottom bashing.

Tried out some jigging for the first time on Saturday out near rotto and found it to be a bit cumbersome and seems the balance is off with the spinfisher 850 was Wondering if anyone had ideas on a better reel to suit. Or had experience with it, the rod goes pretty good when connected to something solid. Like mother earth.. Haha.

Cheers 

 If my rod is rated to 120g jigs, can i use 130g effectively?

 Hello, 

Been stalking forum for years but just made an account.

Been fishing for a long time but never tried Jigging.

Now i can afford it i want to set up a nice combo for demersal jigging. 

Don't own a boat but hoping to learn on mates when i can and taking advantage ofdeckying opportunities.

I will be fishing in >80m and running PE2 on a Catalina 4000. 

I've searched the forum and JM Fallings Ul and 3 Kings UL come up alot, aswell as Magic Eye Torque. Are there other smaller brands that are better but don't get the same press? Happy to spend up to 700. 

What kind of action are you looking for in a demersal rod? Also I've heard JM lacks butt power and folds to the handle... Is that an issue for jigging? From what i gather you dont want too fast an action..

Cheers for any advice

Hey guys.

I am looking to find a rod suitable to pair up with my JM pe5 reel spooled with 50lb braid. It will be mainly for the heavier side of demersal jigging and the occasional sambo and 150-250gm jigs.

I have been looking at a JM 3 kings Light and the fallings light but I want a few other options to look at and living in Albany its a bit hard to see what is around. Can anyone recommend any rod that they have had experience with that would suit what I'm chasing?

Cheers

Ryan

Hey all,

I've never done any jigging before but have watched Paul Worsteling rave about it and catch some decent fish all around Oz. So, I've decided to give it a go.

Problem I have is that I've been given pretty different advice from Tackleworld and BCF. The guy in BCF advised me to go for a Stradic 8000 and a 24 kg rod, whereas the guy in tackleworld has advised a 4000 Exceler and a much lighter rod (think it was 4 kg).

My question is - what size should I be going for in Perth waters? I mainly fish cockburn sound and surrounding areas, I sometimes manage to get out as far as the FADs or the shelf, but only when the weather is glassy, so I'll mainly be fishing up to 100m with the occasional trip to 300m. I'm thinking something in the middle of the two suggestions may be the best plan......any thoughts?

(I'd also like to be able to troll some lures out the back using this rod on the way in and out, if that' possible on jigging gear...?)

 So its been awhile now since demersal jigging has become a very popular way of fishing and the amount of jigs available to everyone have increased dramaticly so my question is what is everyones favourite jig now days?

If you could only choice one which would it be???

For me, If only one it would still be a 100g Caprice in the pink lumo colour. Nothing really fancy but for the price and ease of use i dont think you can go past them.

so whats yours.............

 gday guys 

 Hey guys looking at purchasing the above reel as my 2nd Demersal jigging outfit, just chasing some feedback from anyone that is currently using one :-)

Hi guys,

currently been running  a couple of the Jm 3kings range of rods and have been fairly happy. Also got a Jm Fallings light in overhead on its way to me and was just wondering if anyone else is using any of these as I haven't played with one yet but couldn't resist ordering it. Thoughts in comparison to the 3kings and anything about these rods in general,cheers

regards Adam
