Micon01 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi Raiders I'm looking purchasing a new outfit for slow jigging and I'm looking at the shimano jewel jig overhead 6'6" pe3 rod (open to sugestions) but am stuck picking a reel. So I have come here for some expert input! Any recommendations much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantos Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi - have same rod matched to Shimano torium - nice combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 You could also consider Penn Fathoms or Squalls. Fathoms are full metal while Squalls are graphite and under the budget you have. Or just under for the Fathom. Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey299 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I would go for the Torium as it has a pretty good retrieve per crank on the 16-30 models Edited October 13, 2021 by whiskey299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micon01 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 All good suggestions. And I still can't really make my mind up but I think I might go with the ocea jigger 1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
