I have been looking for a nice small overhead for bottom bouncing, jigging and a bit of trolling, and have found myself stuck on this little gem.  http://www.okuma.com.au/Okumahome/show_one_product.aspx?productgroup=Overheads&titleid=Andros&iid=313&tech=MachinedRigidFrame;StainlessSteelGearing;HippoGrip;CarboniteDrag;2SpeedGearing;CRCprocess

Ordered one this morning and cant wait to get my grubby little paws on it.  I managed to get a Shimano Deep Jig 400 and a 500m spool of 50lb bionic braid off a bloke at work for $200, rod used once, braid brand new.  Reckon it will match up ok?  I reckon they should go togeather nicely.  He reckons that he uses the Bionic braid for everything because it actually has a little bit of stretch and doesnt pull as many hooks when trolling??  just gotta get over it being pink i spose haha. 

From what i can tell its sort of in the same ball park as the Shimano Talica 8II, but has a little more capacity, a bit more drag pressure, and a lower profile on the rod.  Cheaper too!

Just recently im becoming a bit of an Okuma convert.  I used a Salina II 4000 and 10000 during the classic and they both went awesome, didn't give any grief particularly the 10000 which took a 16kg mack on PE5 and made it feel easy  I wanted to try an okuma rod but they are hard to find, and i know the deep jig is a good thing.  Anyone who has any experience with this or any other Okuma's want to give their opinions, i would be glad to hear what others reckon.  Might be annother competitor to the usual Shimano/Diawa coming up??

I did have a Penn 975LD that i got off the forum here, on a Shimano T-Curve deep jig 200 but some little wanker figured they were entitled to it for free, over the Kalbarri classic weekend.  I bloody loved that little setup.
