This is a guide to help you choose which is be best jigging reel for you if you plan to go fast jigging or slow jigging. If you are just starting out, there are a few things you need to consider when you look for a slow or a fast jigging reel - in this video we talk about why slow jigging reels need to have a high retrieve speed and why fast jigging reels need to have a slower retrieve speed, the dynamics of the reels in relation to the line and how it moves the jig. Although this might sound a bit technical to a lot of people, the little bit of information you get in this video will help you better understand things and will help you decide which reels to choose for either fast or slow jigging.

🙋🏾♂️ guilty just take out the sleep
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
There are a lot more reels in the landscape, but the reels shown in this video are pretty much standards for Jigging.
Quite possibly 200hrs of UA-cam videos later, You are the person who has helped me understand a recommendation made to me by a retailer (which I didn’t exactly ‘like’), because I didn’t like the profile of the recommended reel. For clarity, I wanted to use a baitcaster reel for slow jigging but I now see why that’s not wise. Thank you!
There are low profile reels you can use for slow jigging, but even those are kind of specialized...also, you need to change the handle. I have a video of this actually, if you look around the channel and look for my reel recommendation for very shallow water, you will see Shimano Ocea Conquests with custom handles - I use a couple specifically for slow jigging in shallow water.
@@TheFishingKit Thanks for this clarification; I’m presently in the U.K. and charter boats typically fish to a max 200m offshore (100-200m); in-shore is typically 30-50m though can be a bit shallower.
@@ZisoRegondo There's videos of what I use in different depths, so you can check them out and see exactly what suits your needs.
My man u just slayed other dudes on this. This. Is. What. Everyone. Needs. To. Listen. To. And. To. Know.
Glad it was helpful :)
Thanks Kit. My plan this winter/spring is to get more into the jigging game and this info is very informative for me - I will have to watch it a few more times to take in all the info you share. Much appreciated. Owen.
Hit me up on FB or IG Owen, I can explain more if you need more info :)
I’m new to this but your calculations and explaining is so thorough!
I understand it totally thank you !
Good to know :)
So if anyone was wondering "what about other 2 types of reels". Its also very simple.
Slow conventionl reels = the best for trolling because you need to tire the big fish carefully, so you do not to lose it, plus there are fish like tuna that if you battle it very fast, its heart can explode and you killed the fish.
Fast spinning reels = the best for topwater fishing and generally casting sub-surface hard plastic lures or casting jigs into a feeding frenzy, since it allows to pick up slack very fast and to pick up line fast while drilling a bigger fish. Ofc, you might lose the fish, but its a low price to pay, cuz you can take the fish out fast and so the other fish does not realize it and get stressfull or scared of artificial lures.
Also, for us europeans and north americans, when spinning, use slow reel in cold water/sea and fast reel in warm water/sea. Also, take care of the actual fish that you are fishing for. For example, if you are fishing a lurking fish, use slow reel regardless of season and if you fish active fish, use fast reel regardless of season.
One more tip, inchiku, kabura, tenya, zoka and fake fish/squid lures are also sub-type of slow jigging and you also want to use fast conventional reel for it.
I am not trying to sell you a philosophy, its just whats logical to me, and i think that Kit would also agree with everything that i said.
Now...why can't all commenters be like this? Instead I get fruitcakes from the US telling me that American braid is more superior than Japanese braid. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Thanks so much Jure, good info for people to consume! problem is, a lot of people have the "one reel to do it all" mentality so it's kind of hard for them to get their heads around specific tools for specific uses - I think it's safe to say that we have nothing to sell to people and we are just sharing experiences and what we know...end of the day, it's really up to people to listen or not. :)
And that Japanese braid has some dacron and some other crap mixed in to it so American Braids are better. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
salamat Kuya glad you took the time to explain how this works 👍

Great video, what do you think of the 2 speed reels? Are they necessary?
Hi Rick, I honestly believe this is a matter of personal taste - what I can say is My Avet SX Raptor has caught some nice fish, I enjoy using it from time to time, but it's not really the reel I pick up for jigging. It works for sure and when the going gets tough, you can have the low gear to help you a bit.
Great info. Really enjoyed the video!
Thanks! more like this in the channel. :)

Daiwa SASD15. Thanks/TIGHT Lines!!!
Hi John, I had one of them sometime ago, the JDM version, exact equivalent of the Ocea Jigger from the Daiwa side. Nothing to complain about really, a good solid reel. It had everything needed for a slow jigging reel, there is a specific slow jigging model with a better handle. I had to get rid of it because of work at that time, but a very good reel.
Another very informative video... thanks to Dr. Technical 🤠👍🏼

Salamat po first jigging video I watched think I’m going to go slow jigging for Marindique island gt’s new 12:30 ocea jigger ld 2500 not sure what pe to run or depth it is in Philippines?
Great explanation. Thank You
Glad you liked it
I allready bought an Oceans Legacy Elementus rod, which is actually a compromise between a slow jigging rod (loadable front section) but fitted with a little bit harder rear section to fight the bigger ones. So you can do both but you are limited in the weight of your jigs for fast jigging (fast max 250gr, slow max 500gr). The point is, that I bought it as a spinning setup combined with a Shimano Twin Power 8000, because I had the Idea to use the reel also for my popping rod. Now I ask myself if I did a bad purchse?
When you buy things, like...say...a car, you buy it for a few different reasons, a daily driver would be something that could do that really good, but really not something for racing. Slow jigging is very specific, much like racing. There is no such thing as a spinning slow jigging rod or reel...and much like a car, you are asking if you can race your daily driver - the answer is...YES...but don't expect to win a grand prix with it.
Do you think a 10k spinning reel size is okay for a Black Hole Cape Cod Special 502 150g rod, fishing where YFT, Cubera, and other large fish live, fishing from around 100' -200'? Yes, PG. A fast jigging setup.
Love your videos!
10k too big, can go 6k no problem, but go for stella or TP, PG for fast jigging.
@@TheFishingKit Thank you.
Good info 👍🏻, if i may add, another reason for fast reel for slow jigging is to utilize the springing action of the rod.
Thats the rod, which...honestly, I still have to make a video for. :D
@@TheFishingKit looking forward for the rod discussion video 😃
@@aquillae I'll get around to it soon. Have to be somewhere else for this :D
Bula.. Big thanks from fiji for great info . Tightlines bro
Big up
Slow jigging what ratio are you prefer. Tq
not about the ratio, but about how much the reel takes up each crank. for shallow water, you can get away with PG reels, but for deeper water, you need at least 85cm/crank
Maybe the most usefull vid's I've look on jigging, thank you for this, even if I don't speak english realy well, all was clear!!! I usualy jig with spinning reel and thinking about change to a casting reel (it's hard to get good stuff in my country), I'm look for a left hand reel but don't have make my choise. Can you advice me? we do deep jigging most of the time (140 to 260m deep, 100 to 250gr jig, slow and fast) and catch giant trevally or dogtooth tuna.
Glad it helped! If you are right handed, it is better to go with a right handed reel if I was to decide. You need to be able to flat wind (winding line without pumping) especially when slow jigging because you need all the advantages you can have when fishing light erline. It is difficult to do that with a left handed reel - if you are right handed. It is a big advantage that overheads have over spinning reels because you can not reel without pumping with spinning reels. It is difficult to suggest something that you might not be able to get, so if you can, tell me your choices.
@@TheFishingKit thank you for your reply. I've forgot to say : I'm fishing with a kayak (also for deep jigging) and even if I am right handed all my spining reel crank are left, I feel stronger to hold the rod and fight the fish with my right hand, does I'm wrong?
I've tested the ocea jigger reel right hand only one time but don't have a good feeling using my right hand for reel, had to test more of one time for sure.
I also want to know your opinion about overhead reel with line guide for begginer. I've notice that I had trouble to reel and guide the line at the same time, also a feeling problem ?
I watched many reel on web, I hesitate between daiwa saltiga and shimano ocea jigger for "no guide line" and the tica titan claw reel and the saltiga bay jigging for the reel "with line guide".
we can talk by mail or messenger FB if you want, thank you again
Seen you moving between left and right hand reels , which one is more convenient for a right handed guy? what do you recommend ?
Actually, all my overheads except for one reel right hand. All my spinning reels reel left. I don't switch. I can give you a good reason on why you should be doing the same if you were right handed. I have been in this situation so many times, but people always do what they do - so, to cut things short, just do what you are comfortable with and that is that. :)
Great break down? Question can I use a shimano Ocea jigger for bottom fishing??
Short answer - it depends, a OJ PG would be better than an HG or an XG, but sure...would be like using a sniper rifle to hunt with...but yes...you can :)
Hallo dear friend thank you very much for this very informative video.
A question, I already purchased a talica 8 single speed. Do you thing it will work for slow jigging? I ordered a longer handle on Aliexpress. But still never try them. Please let me know your opinion and take care bro.
Haven't tried a Talica to tell you honestly. should work in theory, since it cranks in about 97cm/turn, with a longer handle shout be ok.
@@TheFishingKit thank you very much voor replying. I like your channel bro. Very informative!
Very helpful information. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Very informative video. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hello.
The Saltiga LD35JH is a reel especially designed for jigging which seems to have a very narrow arbor / spool.
Why would Daiwa design this jigging reel with a very narrow arbor, when a wider arbor is optimal performance for retrieve purposes - per your video?
I understand the narrow arbour is best for handling (and more comfortable) for longer jigging sessions but then retrieve performance suffers and is compromised…correct?
How does the arbour width of this Saltiga reel compare with the OJ 1500 reel you displayed in this video?
Also, can you confirm that you have 2 x different reels for fast jigging (conventional reel for smaller fast jigs and spinning reel for longer fast jigs)?
What conventional reel do you use for fast jigging - OJ2000 Correct?
When would you use your Trinidad instead of your OJ reels?
What model Trinidad reel is shown in this video?
Cameron
Companies opted for narrow reels because majority of users before had a hard time leveling the line - Shimano just released the OJ LD 2500. And states EXACTLY the reason I mentioned here about slow jigging and wider spools.
The LD 35 is made for what type of jigging? The Japanese website does not have it.
The oj 1500 is smaller than the LD 35. Confirm? Look behind me in some of my videos when you can see the shelve unit behind me and see exactly how many reels are on there. I have reels for different types of jigging. OJ 2000 was one of the reels I used for fast jigging - it was what I used for 300-500g jigs. I used the trini for deeper water. I have since moved away from Shimano and shifted to SOM reels. I mention what trinidad I use on this video. It's the trini 16A
Thanks for sharing very informative...
Glad it was helpful!
What’s a good reel for rock fish jigging
Different type of jigging, but for rockfish the trinidad would work, so with the toriums...if using braid. If old school, a Penn US Senator :)
I can vouch for the toriums my 1st was a 14 Ive since added a 16. Both rock solid reels but the 14 holds plenty of line for my 240 ft or less fishing even for king salmon runs. The 16 is a little heavy but I use it for big lures heavy line for fatalon island lings & big halibut. The 14 was under 200.00 I have stellas makairas oceas etc. I still absolutely love my torium 14 for rockfish & salmon - perfect balance w my calstar but it goes onto a phenix black diamond for heavier fish.
hello sir, greetings from ph. i wanted to ask what are your thoughts about a certain product(which i am planning to buy as my first jigging reel) if this one is doing well or is this a good choice. the item is lurekiller blue ocean. i havent seen any reviews here on yt or even fb. i hope i can hear from you real soon. thanks and more power
I don't know that brand unfortunately...can't really say. Best advise I can give is to always buy the right things for fishing, you really get what you pay for - instead of settling with something just save up and buy the right things to stop buying and repairing stuff that break of are just not up for the job.
super clear/ informative great video
Cheers Josh :)

watching this made me find out that my slow retrieval spinning reel won't do me good with slow jig. my wife is going to kill me since I'll need to buy a new one :D
there is no such thing as a spinning reel for slow jigging.

the jigs in this video are from Storm and Williamson
Interesting educational tutorial master, thanks.

My friend wants to buy a slow jigging reel particularly ocea jigger 2000xg he is a right handy person , should he choose a right hand or left hand reel? Normal spinning he uses left handed reels .thank you
right hand for overhead reels
Good video. I have the 2000NRHG. Im ready to buy the very SOM handle you show in this video. I was under the impression it did NOT fit the ocea 2000. Im looking for the "egg" shaped handle with the carbon fiber arm. If you can share a source for it Id appreciate it.
probably barracuda fishing equipment
in Dubai? Look for them on FB and send them a message
Thank you!
Wise man !

I'm new to slow pitch jigging. Here in northern Europe we usually fish with with heavy soft lures or pirks that will get to the bottom as fast and straight as possible, so that we can hit the wrecks when we see them on the sounder. Maybe a stupid question but how do you get a slow jig to the bottom fast in deep water. It's built to flutter so I assume it would flutter all the way down if you just let it drop. Do you keep the line tight to orient the jig vertically and avoid the fluttering?
You put pressure on the spool so the jig stays in a vertical position when it drops; this way, it drops fast...this is also the reason why there is no such thing as a spinning combo for slow jigging - you can not put pressure on the spool to make the jig drop fast.
Watched the rest of the video and found the answer :D
@@TheFishingKit Thank you for the explanation. Sound like a good excuse to get new gear :) I've been eyeing the Daiwa Daiwa Saltist Hyper SJ 6.2 ft 120-300 g for jigging cod and pollock in 60-150 m of water. Any experience with the Daiwa rods?
unfortunately, no, I have none for Daiwa rods.

Super helpful! Just ordered the Ocea 1500 HG. What handle did you recommend in the video?

Will you recommend a conventional reel for casting poppers from surf like a saltiga 2 speed reel
If you can find the right rod and if you can cast the reels comfortably without backlashing, it is possible. I have been trying to look for a suitable rod for this for a long time, but have not really found one, I have done this with non popping rods with some result, but spin gear is still by far easier to handle.
thank you bro

Very well explained, really loved it!

@@MRosewood259 my pleasure!
I use a Shimano Stella SW 10k paired with a Shimano Terez TZS69MH. I fish in the Gulf of Mexico 35-100 miles out. Do you suggest a different rod?
This isnt really a jigging rod, I suggest you look at something else for jigging. IF you by chance have access to some japanese rod, get those designed for fast jigging and you should be OK. (Hots, Smith, Yamaga, Majorcraft etc) These rods will make a difference, you can feel the difference on the first drop.
Well explained thanks bro! 😎👍
Glad it helped
im confused about getting the OJ 1500 or the OJ 2000. i fish the tropics in Bali and never go under 150 meters of water but the jigs get quite heavy (500-700g). can the smaller 1500 handle this type of jigs? any advice is welcome thank you!!
Easy answer is OJ 2000. Otherwise, get an SOM L50
Hi sir,, can you use torium in fast jigging rod.. tbx
if it is a PG and you use it for fast jigging, yes. If you think you can put it on a fast jigging reel and go slow jigging...no you can not. You don't use a corolla to till the land right?...you use a traktor for that job.
Im planning to buy saragoza 10000, is it good for jigging?
The Saragosa 10K is an HG reel, you can still use it, but would be kind of fast - but still better than an XG, which is faster. HG can be used, but would be kind of tough on your body.
And they have terrible drag
@@brock4200 you get what you pay for most times. It can be improved though, as you can swap the drag washers but wouldn't recommend doing that unless you know what you're doing.
That's too heavy to be jigging all day, unless you're going for larger pelagics, and need the larger reel.
@@BoycottUA-cam Thats a budget issue for most people really. Some can just afford one to do a few things.
How do you feel personally about the Accurate BV-500N- SPJ vs. Shimano Ocea Jigger 2000HG? I just bought the Accurate and I'm almost getting second thoughts. Love the reel but I always second guess myself. I almost thought the shimano was too smooth if you can believe that.
Personally, I find the Shimano to be better. In my opinion, this accurate reel isn't really made for slow jigging, it was fitted to be used as a slow jigging reel, but not made for it. Shimano OJ HGs, and now XGs are made for jigging from the ground up. There is a difference. (The PGs were made for fast jigging).
Nice vedio sir,Very informative.
Thanks and welcome
Im new to Fishing can u recommend rod and reel for beginners?
what type of fishing would you be doing?
Nice video
Bro I would like to buy an accuarate reel for life bait and maybe for slow jigging. Which one do you recommend!
Thanks in advance
get a proper slow jigging reel - don't settle for something that does things half way.
Nice! What is the line capacity on your high speed conventional?
I have a few high speed conventional - might be a good idea to check in the website? More accurate that way :)
What is the cut-off gear ratio between fast and slow reels?
Not cut off per se, you don't look at the ratio, you look at the retrieve rate - the slower the better for fast jigging.
Hi buddy, what do you think about 52'' of recovery for fast jigging??
depth you fish in?
@@TheFishingKit Jigging mode, no more than 300 feet
It's hard to get good equipment here, I'm thinking of buying a LGN seigler from the USA, but I'm not sure if 52 recovery can be tiring, I mainly fish Yellow Tails and some 30lb groupers
The LGN looks pretty good! have no personal experience with Seigler, I was considering the long cast reel they have, but when I cranked it, it felt kind of clunky to me. Having said that, you can also take a look at the Trinidad and the Torium - your choice, but that reel, on paper seems ok...just kinda heavy for me (I'm a small guy). But yes, the LGN should serve you well from what I can see.
@@TheFishingKit Thank you very much for your comments friend, I will take them into account
Very informative sir 👍 So i just want to clarify if wide spool is better for slow jigging than the narrow spool? Is okuma cavalla 5IILX good for slow jigging?
When I say wide, it is not the W models of certain reels, it is the "regular" width. Since wider spooled reels will have a lower spike in drag as well as retrieving more line when you reach the bottom, compared to narrower spooled reels. The reel you mentioned has a narrow spool. You can still use it, much like the OJ 2000. The main point is, your drag will spike up faster and it will have a lower retrieve speed than a wider spooled reel.
@@TheFishingKit there is a narrow version of it, the cavalla 5N-IILX. Is okuma cavalla 5-IILX still narrow compare to a regular width overhead reel?
@@fishOnVenturePH Oh, I see it now. I haven't used this or even seen it, so I don't know the model numbers. Yea, seems ok.
@@TheFishingKit Nice! Thank you sir 😊
Tanks for information..salam strike
🤝 thanks for visiting!
Do you have to lay the line a bit with your finger on the conventional reels when slow jigging? I was actually thinking of getting something with a level wind as I am not used to that at all!
Hi Max, different people do it different ways, but you don't really have to. What I do is when I work the bottom, I don't really do it, but when I decide to reel it all up, I drop down again and level on the way up. another option is tilting the reel left to right when you reel (it levels the line - try it!), yet another option is to just leave it and only use your thumb to level things when you see a bulge forming - then, drop down a level things when you move or are about to go home.
@@TheFishingKit Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Did you have any issues with spiral guided rods building up line on one side of your spool?
@@1V2N1V2 unless the stripper guide is not aligned with the reel seat (on any guide arrangement) this should not be an issue.
@@TheFishingKit Okay thanks, I was a little concerned about that.
Interesting so you prefer wide spool vs narrow spool? Getting my first SPJ set up which reel shud i get Seigler SGN,SG or Accurate Tern 300x, Tsunami forged 8? Any reel you recommend 350usd budget? Thanks!
Not too wide - A narrow spool will lose its arbor faster than one that has a bit of width - using the same thickness line, when you lose arbor size, you lose retrieve speed. I don't know those reels...not really sure if they are designed for Slow Jigging. But if they satisfy the basic requirements of the retrieve speed, handle length etc. any reel should, in theory work. But I know those you mentioned are super heavy...in slow jigging, the object is to still be able to play basketball after a slow jigging trip - if you can't do that, either you are not doing it right, or if you are, then your gear isn't right.
@@TheFishingKiti think they do, SGN only weighs 9.8oz, but accurates and shimano as very well known here in US. Tern is accu entry level spj star drag reel. By handle you mean longer handle? For $300 tops wud you suggest any reel? Thanks! I want to try SPJ before fully committing.
@@ShinkiZer0 best advice myself or anyone can give you that really wants you to succeed - Get one of the proper ones made for slow jigging - rod, reel, line and lure, assist hooks - if by some strange miracle you don't like it, then the resale value is quite high for the proper stuff - you won't lose much. I don't know if you can readily get Ocea Jigger or Saltiga slow jigging reels, or how much they cost there. But those are the ones you should be looking at.
Please tell me how do you load the line evenly,by hand ?
Without a levelwind - the easiest way is to drop down and level it after fishing.
While fishing, you can tilt the reel to the left or right to encourage the line to move either left or right to level the line, takes a bit of practice though.
I favor the first method.
@@TheFishingKit I bought myself a Oceea 200,but when I saw it,the problem hit me :))),I still think it's strange
@@grider46 It happens :) but the simplest way is to level it with your thumb.
most big game reels are like this, as with conventional surf reels. Oceas are good reels :) Congrats!
Can you explain more details about “ the easiest way is to drop down and level it after fishing. ” ? I didn’t understand exactly what do you try to say ? 🙏
thank you for sharing master
Share if you think it will help your friends understand more :)

Thks ur video. I want slow jigging. Should i buy SOM BHL50Hi/R Z-Japan.
Duc, I think it is up to you and your use. I have an L50 and it is useful for me, however, an OJ is more than enough already. your decision really...
@@TheFishingKit thks u so much!
@@TheFishingKit you think i should try OJ 2000NR HG or something like that. What kind your reel do u?
Amazing stuff dude. Sub!
thanks!!!!
What do I look into if I want to use a levelwind?
you have to look into what depth you are fishing in first...then decide if you want something like an ocea conquest or for deeper heavier applications, a SOM Blue Safari.
@@TheFishingKit Less than 50m actually. In that case a conquest would work right? And thank you for the reply!
depends on the size of the fish, but yes, conquest would work...PG would be better for shallower areas like this.@@ahmadillomon
I'm ready to give slow jigging a try. Just ordered a Ocea jigger F Custom 2001NRHG! What rod should I pair it with?
There are lots of options - depends on where you are and how much you want to spend on it. For a pure slow jigging rod, Japanese rods are the best option - Order from Japan. Lots of options to choose from that fits all sorts of budgets. Some sellers offer free worldwide shipping.
@@TheFishingKit I'm in the US and planning on starting out in the 100-250g range jigs. I have no problem with getting things shipped in. I ordered that reel from AmazonJP because it was left handed and cheaper even with shipping. I guess my question is what Japanese brands I should be looking for? Thanks in advance!
@@bringit3164 check out the Abu Garcia (JDM) has some good rods, Hots Stiletto (my max 350 rod), JAM Rods (by sea floor control), Deepliner, Shimano Infinity series...to name a few.
@@TheFishingKit Thanks!
@@TheFishingKit Well I couldn't find the Hot's Stiletto slow SSS-64H in stock anywhere 😭. I'm thinking about Sea Floor Control Jam model 3 Force now. Thanks again for the video and help!
This is a jigging technique from the boat, right?
Yes, otherwise would be shore jigging
building a jigging geat and looking for a new reel but i never used Conv. reel, so a bit worried. And I heard you need to adjust line when reel up, if you don't have line assist.
if you are fast jigging, spinning is fine, but if you want to low jig, conventional is the only way to go.
@@TheFishingKit why spinning reels no good for slow jig? They can retrieve 100cm +
@@n0spam911 the design of the jig - when you give a slow jig slack, it will start to flutter, you need to thumb the spool on an overhead reel to give it pressure so the jig goes vertical and drops straight, you can't do this on a spinning reel.
@@TheFishingKit Isn't that the purpose of slow jigging, to make the jig flutter as it falls?
@@Денис-р5о3з YES...but the question is, do you want your jig to flutter from the surface all the way down to 300m?
Is there a budget jigging reel that you recommend?
Budget reel - dont buy any other weird or cheap reel, save money until you can buy one of the standards - Shimano OJ or Daiwa Saltiga. Dont. settle.
@@TheFishingKit so I just bought a gomexus slow pitch jigging reel 😬 any thoughts?
@@TheFishingKit nevermind, I know it’s a bad purchase but that’s my budget right now to get me into the game of jigging
@@allaroundfishermen it will work, and you will catch fish, but its like buying a car, you might have a missing safety feature or two - would it get you from point a to point b? Sure. Absolutely. But will it be there when it counts? Fishing isn't cheap to start with but if you start to buy things that arent reliable they stack up and you are the one that pays the price - ultimately, you reach the amount that you should have spent but you have broken or a few broken things instead of one reliable working catching machine.
@@TheFishingKit thank you 🙏
Great vid
Thanks Dylan! :)
what's a recommended line you use? on my set up I have 60lbs braid and 80lbs floro is that okay?
for what reel, for what purpose?
@@TheFishingKit I just got me a piscifun reel from Amazon, it's the alijoz model with a power handle. I've never done any salt water fishing before ahaha but I'm going back home to the Philippines to catch anything on a jig. Just didn't wanna lose anything so went kinda heavy with the line 😂
@@TheFishingKit love how you respond quickly I appreciate it
@@MrAaronunite is it for fast or slow jigging?
@@MrAaronunite if I'm online, I always check and respond :)
Shimano Trinidad 20a sir still good for jigging sir?
I used mine last trip and caught a grouper.
Thank you sir 🎣
@@natconsing2392 cheers
nice bro
Cheers
Well i picked the hard combo
which is?
Whats a good reel for under $200 for jigging?
For slow jigging, there are JDM Toriums that have an auto engage clutch. For fast jigging, you can do with the US toriums, but it's honestly better to save up a bit more for a proper reel.
Used reels are another option if you are ok to go that route.
I want to buy fast jigging rod overhead please advise for both-reel & rod
Thanks but I need them to be good with P.E4
Thanks 🙏
Ocea Jigger 2000 Rod for fast jigging could be anything that's available in your area - even the chinese ones are quite good these days. .
@@TheFishingKit unfortunately we don’t have it in my country , I’ll order not a big deal, if u can please advise me with options
@@Smqann where are you located

@@TheFishingKit I think I will go with THE SPECIAL ONE X
OVERHEAD howk
With ocea jigger 2001 pg 17
