For a first time spj. Was thinking of getting a blue goofish rod and not sure which reel to get? Which reel would you recommend for a first jigging reel can't spend too much at the moment but which reel would you recommend to pair up with the rod. Fishing upto 300m but usually up2 150m. Thank you
I would advise to get a proper rod and reel for slow jigging. For people who want to get into it, the "entry level reel we always advise to get is a 1500 Ocea Jigger for that depth. It is important to get the proper rod (with the right action) and the reel for this type of fishing because it is a very sensitive system. most people use jigs that are too heavy because they use braid that isn't up to spec. The rods are integral to the system as well...so that brand you are talking about is kind of not the right rod as well. Save your money for now and save up for the right rod, reel and line. It will be better for you in the long run. Going into this half hearted will only lead to problems and more spending to get things right.
I was wondering, bc the jigging reels are very expensive I’d like to make the correct choice between a right hand crank or left hand crank. With spinners I use left but with normal surf casting conventional reel I use my right. I’ve never used a left hand conventional reel but it seems like it would be easier. Do you have a video comparing the left and right crank? What is your take on this to help me make my decision? Ik the final choice will be mine. Thank you very much and keep up with those informative instructional videos. 🙏🏽🤙🏽
If you already reel right with conventionals - stick with it. People that reel with the left without knowing why and switched, got hit hard with a marketing strategy employed by reel manufacturers - ask anyone exactly what the benefit is and they will give you a BS answer coz unless they are left handed to start with, there is no real reason to reel left with conventional gear.
Thanks for the informative video, I have not been fishing for some time due family and am picking it back again. I going for a trip soon and want to access what new gear I should get for jigging. I have accurate 665H and saw u converted it for slow jigging. Question is would converting it be good for my trip?
Depends on what you want to do with it. The 665H I converted took a lot...check out the new video. wasn't simple...but for what I will be using them for, they will work great.
@@TheFishingKit Thanks for the reply much appreciated. Yes I watched the video and it did took a lot. Are you able to advice where to purchase the power handle or what model you used? I tried to look online and couldn’t not find much.
Ebay, look on ebay, it shows up from time to time, it took me a few years to find the handle for the red reel then a few months to get the one for the silver, they cost about $60 or so.
Hello. When should you decide to use/select a jigging reel with higher retrieve speed (and lower torque) vs a jigging reel with lower retrieve speed (and higher torque) for slow pitch jigging? Cameron
fast jigging needs a slow reel and slow jigging needs a fast reel. Slow retrieve reels can be used when fish are holding in shallower in the water column. so you can use a slow retrieve reel for fish holding 40m below in water 5000m deep...if that makes sense.
What do you think about big vibe lures, that flutter both when going up and when going down. Would you use fast or slow rod or fast or slow reel ? Never tried them or had them in hand. I saw nomad makes them, but not available here in this part of europe
I love your jigging reels there beautiful do you put the jigging reels on bait caster rods or are they different rods what ounces of wight does your jigging reels can handle can you please show the difference between bait caster reel combos vs jigging Combos what is a cork drag thank you kit I would love to know more about jigging reels and what rods are used for I use spinning combos and a bait caster combo
@@TheFishingKit o okay thank you very much kit I would love to know more about jigging rods and reels and what are they used for and how they work and how you fish them and the difference between bait caster combo and jigging Combos I don't know anything about jigging reels or jigging rods kit thank you very much for making this video I'm interested in knowing more thank you very much for making a nother video talking about the jigging reels I love your fishing RUclips channel and how you talk about the reels I'm just a little bit slow to understand things because of my disability
Wish I’ve seen this video before getting my slow jigging reel😢. Anyway, what do you think of the Brand Jigging Master? Is worth the money? Thanx in advance mate..keep the video coming..very informative especially to new anglers like me.🙏🏽
JM is an ok brand, but there are better brands. They are heavy, which affects your fishing. Will be making a video on why weight affects your fishing soon. It's not brand specific, but will give you why some brands/reels are better than others.
if you beef up the drag, you will have a problem with the main gears and pinion. and you also have to take off the clicking drag...if you just want it stronger, yes, its possible, but you can't overdo it coz it will break the gears. lots of washers sold on ebay.
I haven't held this reel - but I will give you advise on this as I always do when people ask me about a certain brand reel..or buying gear in general. Firstly, when you buy anything fishing, you get what you pay for. Secondly, the more you buy obscure brands, the more you will spend down the line - so the best way to go about this do it like I do it now, before, I used to buy these obscure brands or new brands or something...that isn't "mainstream" - the result - I buy more stuff and I end up with a lot of junk. When you buy a reel, buy from brands like shimano, daiwa or better (for jigging reels, Studio Ocean Mark is pretty much at the top). When you buy these reels, you have access to parts, even if you have to buy it in japan, bearings need to be changed from time to time and other parts...for these other brands, they are pretty much throw away if something breaks. Save your money, save until you can get the proper stuff, buy ONCE and done.
@@TheFishingKit I've been fishing for 55 years and I learned what quality gear is probably 35 years ago. I think you'll be impressed with the Piscifun reel. Parts are available, it's well built, performs well over time, has given me zero problems and I can buy 4 of them (if I need to) or 1 Shimano or Oceajigger. I'll give you a piece of advise. Give it a try, you'll be impressed.
If it works for you then that's great news. What I know is that each reel has its own limits, be it the weight, the gearing, etc. the list goes on and on. I have used Shimanos and Daiwas and countless other brands - recently, Studio Ocean Mark and after using these reels, I think I have found what I have been looking for. You get what you pay for in fishing...that's just the way it is and it has only been recently that I have actually found the reels that suit my needs for jigging. it weighs less than a comparable sized OJ, more powerful, modular...the list goes on and on. So, I am quite happy with them and will just add a few sizes, then that's it for me and jigging reels. I have know a couple of people that have these reels [the reel you mentioned], they were using them for a while, then sold them and went back to Ocea Jiggers, this is of course very subjecting...
line capacity is always a concern. If you have two reels, you can spool up wit just 300m...but if you only have one, its better to spool up with more. thats why you see people using a 2000 size OJ than a 1500 for the same depth - the 2000 holds more line...if you snag, you will have enough left over to fish... Another reason is the bigger your stack of line, the faster you gain line when reeling.
@@TheFishingKitYes I understand that you lose retrieval rate as the spool lets out more line so I would imagine there is a minimal line range you would like to keep on the spool at all times so that you stay close to the reels stated retrieval rate. Its probably a question you can not answer being that reels spools have different height and widths.
@@ergogenic4780 The minimum you should keep your spools at is "always Full". that's the best answer you are going to get. Hard to do that with OJs. Especially when fishing around snags. A spare reel is always handy - that's why I have back ups. In the case of SOMs - you can take them apart in the field easily and you can buy spare spools for the reels. I would say the second best answer would be - Always have +200m on your deepest fishing depth. in the case of 300m, you need 500m of line. 200m of which would be your allowance.
Nice info man!!! Thanks to share what people need to know. If you want to jig in deep sea, you should find a reel that is specifically made for it. I use offl captcha 50/60, cuz that reel very light and you can jig all day long. That what i use ✌👍
That Silver SOM in the thumbnail. it's an L50. Although I didn't talk about it in this video, you will see it in the next one. Over 500g, I would be using L100, but I don't have that reel yet. Will be my next acquisition.
PE 3 is DIAMETER. DRAG IS FORCE....Look for the Approx poundage of your line and set at 1/4-1/2 of breaking strain depending on your fishing - L50 and L30 reels add (or subtract) .5kg for each position. From Strike to Fight is +1kg and max at +2kg.
Are these reels really good at taking a beating? I had brought Daiwa Saltist 3000/Penn Slammer 3 4500 for a deep sea fishing. We had 12 hours of endless barracudas. Line keep breaking even we switch over to the wire. Both reels were death due to the main gears have been busted. I was kind of disappointed even Penn slammer 3 aka the tank, still got busted. The captain has to return us to the shore.
Vsonic, some of the best money can buy. You seldom bust main gears on reels, provided you stay within the tolerances they were built for...more so with high end reels because that's exactly what they were built for.
@@raychen2468 I Can do that Ray, but my rods might not be available in some countries...or...they might be too expensive., but yes, that video is on the list.
@@kadekkelvin8692 Kevin, it's the same question. Try it like this, "how much PE 4 would fit the L50" You are asking me how long, but you are not telling me the size of the line...so how can I answer that? lol

Would you beef up the drag on a Shimano Ocea jigger 2000 more than what it comes with. To about 15kg and what website do you buy the drag washer from

have you tried the penn fathom ii the new model I got the 25nld2 but thinking of returning it and go to the 15nld2
The only penn reels I use are the overhead reels for surf fishing.
What do you think about the jigging master pe3 and pe2 reels.
