The only good thing about the rain is rig up some jigs in wait for the good weather

Managed to score this brand new Crostage CRJ-S60/3 for $130. I don't really need it as i have a pe2 and pe3 Xzoga but at a bargain price i had to grab it. It feels pretty good loaded up. Build quality isn't too bad but no better than any other mass produced cheap rod. A few guides aren't lined up perfectly with the blank but i can't complain for $130.

 ive been looking at the new avet SXJ reel for an oh set up for abit of jigging. I dont want to spend to muh on the set up because i wont get alot of use out of it. Any guidance woukd be great

 Hey all, anybody had much luck with vexed jigs? I know there copys, but for the price they dont look to bad... 

 Just a quick thanks to Josh from Oceanside for his time yesterday arvo. Being new to metal jigging and booked on a Whiteys charter this weekend, Josh set me up with a good selection of jigs. Definitely worth the drive from Geraldton !!

I hope to post up pics of some nice fish from the trip.

Cheers

 Went the valley hill 6ft, and sum bits and pieces, cheers oceanside!

Hey Guys

Just doing a bit of research on a overhead jig reel and was looking for some oppinions. I have a Extreme Fishing WA overhead rod that currently has a tyrinos 30 on it. As you can imaging that isnt overly comfortable to jig with. I am hoping to put a lighter narrower reel on it that will handle PE5.

I have a Stella 5000 with PE3 on a JM rod aswell. that i mainly use. so just looking for a little heavier back up for Sambos and Kings.

Cheers

Hi all,

My brother who works overseas gave me the heads up on some cheap demersal jigs in some shops.
Are any of these brands/products familiar for demersal jigging?
1. Saltiga Sacrifice ii Slow knuckle jig.
2. Maria Metal Flicker.
3. Technic Octo Angler.
4. Daiwa Speed jig RV.
5. Jigging Master Fallings.

Looking for jigs which suit the slow method (dhuies etc), not high speed for sambos.

Thanks for your help

Chris

Some of the new sacrifices thanks to Oceanside Tackle. Now to put them and the LM rod through there paces. Bring on Jurien.

 Big thanks to Josh who helped me with some gear and importantly advice today.

Thanks for the time you took to assist me mate!

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi, looking for an OH reel primarily for sambo jigging, planning to run 80lb braid. Any suggestions with a budget of under $400? Thinking along the lines of Fin-Nor Marquesa MA20, Daiwa Saltist LD20 but not sure if these are suitable for 80lb?

Cheers,

I'm looking for ideas on how to store demersal jigs. I've looked at the Shout jig bags and while they look the goods my main issue with them is IMO they are very pricy given the small number of jigs each one actually holds. There must be better storage bags, boxes, etc available out there. So what do you all use?

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone does much jigging for YTK in W.A. I am planning on heading down south to try my luck next break providing the weather is freindly.

Just chasing a bit of info on what depths are good to start looking and what jigs are working for people on kings?

I have 3 jig setups i can use.

1st is a Jig Master three kings pe 1.5-4 with a Stella 5000.

2nd is a Extreme Fishing WA pe 3-5 with a Tyrnos 30. Bit heavy but does the job

3rd is a Shimano t-curve deep jig 500 with a Spheros 14000.

Now i just need some jigs for them. I have a heap of demersal jigs under 200gm but nothing really heavier than that.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers Jayce

 Hay guys i currently have a mex mash and am looking to upgrade?  Im jigging 90 -150 grm jigs was looking at the demon blood, anything around the 300- 400$ dollar mark any advice reccomendations would b very helpful cheers!

Im new to jigging and have seen all the posts that have appeared lately with the big arse dhueys and snapper with jigs hanging out of their mouths. I notice that no one seems to use the octopus shaped jigs - are they any good, just interested to know as it was the first jig i bought at BCF when I decided to do a bit of jigging. So far ive only used the long metal fish shaped jigs and done good on sambo's out at the barges. So what about the octo jigs are they ok for demersals or not the jig of choice for dhueys or snapper?   

 Hi Folks, can anyone share some thoughts for an overhead travel jig rod to suit a saltiga 20. For jigging dermersals and pelagics.  Preferably $250 and under. cheers Pete

hey fishwrecked i have a saltist bayrubber jigging rod thats never caught a fish it looks like a very good inshore jigging rod and im just wandering whats a good overhead reel that would suit it

i would like other peoples opinions

cheers guys

 Hi crew brought some new jigs on the weekend lamble bait , jm fallings using them for dhus what the best way of jigging them . What gets the dhus going cheers daniel

Got bored today, was baby sitting so I decided to sacrific 2 old knife handles and had a crack at making some jigs.

definiately not a master piece, but we'll see what the fish think.

I bent a subtle S shape in the the handles to see if I could depart some action. Gonna test them in my mates pool.

Front, the green, blue and gold speckles don't show up to well. Going to buy a stick on eyes

The back, polished the chrome

Side view with slight bend.

And the second one, the reflective foil is stuck on with thin double sidded tape. Will stick eyes on the one too.

Cheers

Anyone know where I can order a new handle arm for this reel??

cheers, Basto

Thanx for all the advice guys:

I received my rigs today

1 titanium 200 with a talica 12II and ygk ultra jigman wx8

1 saltiga PE 4 combi jeck with Catalina 500H and ygk ultra jigman wx8

1 saltist Demon Blood 2 with a Stella 5000

and some jigs.

Hi guys

I am trying to find the jig "weight range" for the Fin nor 80lb jigging rod.

I know it is better suited to a 50lbs line class, but most rods will specify a PE rating and a jig weight.

I have paired it with a talica 12 II and 50lbs braid, if that helps.

and I assume the depth would be a factor as well? (maybe I'm wrong again) but lets assume up to 60 m.

Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.

thanx

Interested in getting into some jigging, planning to spend a fair bit more time offshore. 

What is your preference regarding a jigging setup. Better to go overhead or spin?

Preferably going for pinkies/dhuies/sambos. 

 Hi guys,

In the market for a jig rod for my Stella 5000sw. I am going to use it for jigging Dhufish, Snapper and Small-Mid Sambos. I am not after crazy quality rods such as Ripple Fishers, Jigging Master and the likes, I am just after something of Okay, Mid Price Range quality.

I am currently thinking either the N.S. Magic Eye Torque or a Maria Steady Jigging.

The reel feels a bit heavy on the NS Magic Eye Torque and a tad out of balance.

The Maria balances perfectly and feels nice. I also feel I can put more power on with this rod. Only problem is it is heavy (not very compared to other rods like it but still very noticable compared to the NS).

Has anyone used these rods and can comment? Any other suggestions?

Thanks :)

 Hi guys! views? i know the SOM runs on cork drag washers? does this make em jerky? and the SOM is as good as 2x the JM?

thks!

 Just need some help with picking a jigging rod too suit a stradic 8.. Cheers for any info 

Will the JM 200g Evo Ti rod,  handle 300g jigs?,  and if paired to the Talica 12 ii with 50lb braid would it handle Sambo's?

thanx
