slothparade Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Take a look at this video https://www.google.com/search?q=jigging+overhead+vs+spin&oq=jigging+overhead+vs+spin&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512l2j0i22i30l6.3906j0j7&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8# The lighter the setup the better. Your going to want a very tough reel as your going to put a lot of wear and tear on them. If you want a spin setup, slammer 6500hs on an ocean assassin PE5 or so will be great. Twin power with a tcurve if you have a higher budget. Or a saragosa and a treze. Or you could go a speed master or an sea jigger from Shimano. The Penn fathom in the 25 size is great on a carnage jigging rod. The fathom will handle anything your likely to encounter. If your after massive fish and have a big budget, talica or international 16 size are great for big tuna ect. You could also get a underhead reel (yes they're a thing) they are basically a level wind that goes on like a spinning reel specifically for jigging. They are stupidly expensive and I don't know anyone who has one. You probably want around 65 to 80lbs braid on a reasonably heavy leader. If your going with the talica or international go 100lbd braid. Really hope this helps, but take this with a grain of salt, I very rarely jig and I'm only getting started. This is from the hours of research I've done and the minimal experience I have. If anyone wants, please feel free to correct this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couch fisho Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Thanks for the info, thinking of going for an Ocea Jigger 4000HG running PE 8 braid on either a Oceans Legacy Pe 5-10 Adrenalin overhead jigging rod or a Shimano Tcurve overhead rod rated to 37kg braid Any suggestions or other info wanted thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
