SZ1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The Saltist does have a low gear ration model, which off the top of my head is 4:9:1 or somthing on that line. Cheers, SZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evets Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Stinger, I have a Trinidad 40N. It would suit you down to a T. I have loaded mine up with 600m of 50lb braid. Next time I think that Ill go with to at least 80lb because it seems like I could get about 100 m or so more on the reel. Excellent for jigging and it has heaps of drag. Go for the N model as it is the narrow spool. I find it a bit hard to lay the line properly on the wider model when I am jigging. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WANNAFISH Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 My vote is for the tanacom bull. Press the button away u go or you can still do it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah168 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Another vote for the Trinidad 40N here, sounds like it would suit you perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
