reccomened me a jigging combo

[gros21]

well im starting to take the yak a bit more of sure and im after a bit more serious stuff. budget arround $400 but could streach a bit if there is a exelent combo for a bit extra.

overseas order would be fine.

so far my heavist combo is a 5600 abu with a dawia procaster rod. and a new dawia redback 4000 with a med 10-17lb rod

[gros21]

can streach budget to $600 due to good pay.

i saw the rapala jigging rods on sale for $150ish then im thinging maybee the van steel vm150 which is on special at ########.

i prefer a spinning combo for macks and if need be able to throw a small metal slug out if need be but will be more of a solid trolling rod

For $600, this is what I would get:

Reel: Daiwa Exceler HD 4500 ($249) (low speed version of the Saltist spinning reels)
Rod: Daiwa Demon Blood 56 PE5/6 ($299)
Line: 300m 50lb Power Pro ($49)

I would have recommended a Saragosa as a reel, but I think they have a design fault which saw me witness the body separate from the reel stem on a very small fish.

Saw a lot of Rapala jigging rods back in the shop when I worked in Karratha - very fragile by accounts of the amount we saw broken in 2.

What size jigs are you using and what fish are you targeting?

ok well im cahsing macks and any thing really about 2-3km max off sure i do alot of trolling and stopping when i find some fish for a flick of a slug or try to drop a octojig onto there heads.

a mate uses salina II combos which he likes so some thing along thos elines

i have a massive sppol of 40lb ower pro here that ill use

Okuma vsystem would be perfect for the reel, would cost you about $250. Go a high speed retrieve if your casting slugs

[benno_r]

Ah hah! I think we have different ideas of what jigging is!

Then I change my recomendation to the Daiwa Demon Blood 64CJ. I have one and it is a balltearer. 6'4" so casts ok, and will take the 40lb power pro beautifully. Used it on the troll, plastics jigging, high speed jigging (not so good - too long), octajigs, and bottom bashing.

Agree with cobiaman, go high speed if doing a lot of casting work. I have a low speed V System mated to my 64CJ and it is awesome. I don't use it casting a lot, but I went with the low speed model, and couldn't be happier.

Cheers,
Ben
