its a jigging master powerspell 150gm rod and a jigging master pe3 reel with 300mtrs of pe4 saltiga boat braid total outfit costs around the $1000 mark depending where u get it this was my first time jigging with a overhead all my other jig outfits are spin didnt take too long to get use to it we didnt have any issues with jackets my first drop i caught a jacket but thats the only one i saw didnt loose any jigs (well i did drop one over board by accident) was a great day out

was a great day on the water first up Billy your a absolute legend thanks again for a great day on the water looking forward to seeing a big bend in your jigwrex was great to break in the new out fit she handled it with ease cant wait to get back out there and get stuck into some more winter kings thanks again mate

nice work nice kings good work for sticking to the fishing even when spewing but word of warning be careful with those rods they have a tendency to snap i would go very easy on the drag im sure if netic sees this post he might comment on the rod

also depends on what you want the reel to do the saltist would be better off the stones throwing lures around as its got a faster gear ratio (6.1-1) while the saragosa has a much slower ratio for battling big fish and makes a great jigging reel (4.9-1)

+ 1 for the saragosa the saragosa is the pimped version of the speros will cost a little more but is a superior reel

great work as usual John is it just me or is every one down sizing there jigging outfits these days i have just got myself a new JM PE3 combo sure is alot easier to use then my PE8

yep my mate keeps his at kennards self storage at mona vale from memory its like $200 a month

running 80lb on that rod is pointless if you are getting rubbed off on reefs use bigger leaders like some 100lb you dont need super heavy gear to land kings we have landed kings on 8lb braid with 10lb leaders in 15mtrs of water around moorings

its only water all goes to plan ill be hitting the peak and the 12 jigging on sunday

12kg is only 26 pounds i would stick 20-30lb on there and go easy on the drag what reel are u using and what are u fishing for

nice work very jealous was this a jigging trip or they caught on the troll,bait ? the safety line in that photo leads me to think they were taken on the troll ?

for a powerspell 350gm in Oz your looking at around $550 all the way down to around the $500 mark for the 100gm ofcourse with a bit or bargaining you can lower these prices there great rods ive got a 300gm matched with a saragosa running 80lb and a 150gm matched with a Jigging Master PE3 reel running 30lb not only are they great rods they look great so even if you dont catch fish you look good trying haha

the 350 is a beast ive got a 3kings special 300gm and its a beast 33kg at 50° and a massive 18.5kg at 90° its alot lighter then the powerspell 350 and a hell out alot more power ill PM you a local sydney shop

bring it on no babies in my future you got my info

a big tailor ?

running 80lb braid on a 10kg stick is pointless u want your line to snap before you rod does that reel only has around 7kg of drag i would stick some 30lb on there SquidKing Combo if using live squid i wouldn't be using any burley around the moorings or any of the wrecks as you will just get tailor and jackets eating your livies if i try burley for kings i just cube pillys and throw one peice out every min or so dont go crazy as you will just bring on the rubbish fish and ruin the fishing for others who come to the spot the kings in pitty move around alot so much of the time its just luck there are there when you are

holding kings also holding lots of jackets worth a shot but just bring cheap jigs and lots of them

be careful with your use of burley and pillys around the spot your fishing in that photo sure some times it can help to attract the kings to your boat but most of the time its just going to attract the jackets and rubbish fish Steveo76 the reel will be fine you just wont fit too much on there what rod do you plan on using it with

damm if i had more notice i would of jumped at it best of luck tomorrow hopefully the weather is kind to you

have caught some monsters outside broken bay so not really any help for a land lover ha not a very exciting fight just feels like your pulling in a fridge took a good 30min to get in and my back was sore for days

keep on eye on this website HERE has all the info on the status of the fads along with there location

just a update to this a friends brother was on the tinny the missing mate wasn't so lucky his body was found a few hrs later not sure of the details about lights on the tinny and so on and im not going to ask them

the kings are always around they are just alot harder to find and are normally ALOT bigger

where will you be fishing for kings that outfit is a little over kill for kings you will just be skull dragging them in if you plan on sticking with a overhead i too would go with the a tld they have a better track record then the okumas with there overheads if you after a good kingie spin setup have a look in Swap & Sell cheers

great work on the kings that spot has been a good producer for me too i lost a monster fish there a few yrs ago while flicking plastics on the silly string after a good 40min fight she did me on my prop cant wait to get out on the water
