Thanks for the video I have just ordered this exact rod, same spec for spinning reel. I’m using usually 60-80g fast jigs and fish in 30-40 meter depth. How do you like the rod? Can it be used also for slow pitch or not really recommended. What size of fish did you catch on it? Thank you David
Hi Spicy Angler. Yes it is a good rod, I even used it for trolling with 30 gram lure (Rapala red head), caugh 3kg grouper. Your spot is similar to where I am fishing, at 30 t0 40 meters depth. I use 60g jig cast and retrieve technique. The action is nice for slow pitch with 60 to 80 gram jig. Thing is, you can only do a few jig and retrieve because the water is shallow. Honestly, if I will use it for depths more than 40m, say 100m or below, this rod will not be very effective. I caught 5 kg shy Barracuda with this and a couple of good size king mackarel and queen fish. For depths below 40m, this rod is perfect!
by the way, I moded the last ring guide by converting from single seat to K seat. This manner, I can hook my jig on the last ring guide without worrying that I might bend or break.
@@DNOYPIANGLER thanks for the reply really useful. Don’t you use it for fast or slow jigging vertically do you cast it away and jig it close to bottom? Also why in depth more than 40m say, the rod won’t be effective. ??
@@SpicyAnglerhi, I cast 60 g jig as far I can, let it sink (say count 10 secs) then retrieve as fast or medium (depends which is effective) while jjgging (pumping the rod). More like diagonal jigging.This technique is really good if you are fishing kings mackarel or barracuda. If you use it lie around 100 m, when u will have a strike, the rod will be so soft (assuming that there is no current). That is why when jigging vertically more than a 100m, we usually use 150g to 300 g jig because of the current. And if you will use it with this rod specs, the rod might break.
