first post-need help on pe4-6

hey all, been reading this sites topics for almost 2 years now and have finally made an account!ive read through alot of the things on this site and i must say its an awsome site to join up on! and can be a hell of a crack up at times!(fisherman1992???)haha

 

so finally down to the question i really want to ask: ive just been given a shimano jigwrex pe4-6 overhead and i was wondering what reel (with a small spool width)would be suitable to match it up with? the reel will be used jigging for sambos most of the time at the barges,ive had saltists and toriums in the past but im looking to upgrade to something that wont get killed after a long day of big sambos! im willing to spend around 500-750! lower the better haha.... would also like to buy it new if i cant find anything in my price range i might consider to buy 2nd hand

 

thanks all smithy!

 My recommendation would be a overhead ,I dont jig that much but a saltist or Avet would what I would line up with that rod.Something that has at least 10kgs of drag.

Its recommended that you fish the sambos at the barges on 80lb, simply so that they're released with plenty of fight left in them. I used an Accurate Boss BX600N myself.

I'm looking to sell a Saltiga

Sun, 2011-08-14 13:18

I'm looking to sell a Saltiga 30T in great nick, had very little use. Only doing so to downsize to the standard 30 as the rod is a PE 3 (Jigwrex) and the 30T is a bigger reel than the standard 30 and too big for my rod. It would be a sweet outfit for your heavier rod.

PM me if interested.
