Can I Jig With A Tekota 700 ?

[cut_loose]

Just wondering if anyone jigs with one. I have 30lb jigging braid on it but i was thinking of getting a PE 6 rod so what line should i run ?

Cheers

mate the tekota has a good ratio and could be used as jiggn reel but weighing 816g u would need to be pritty fit to jigg that for a few hours, but everyone is different i like light weight set up as im built like a twig!

Ohkay, Yeah im not build at all but i will only jig for like an hour or something i just wanna try it and saves me spending more on a reel.

Are Shimano JixWrek any good ?

my heavy jig outfit uses a saragosa 18000 and they weigh in at around 850gm

i can jig all day using it with no problems

the Tekota will be fine for jigging the ratios are fine

the only negative i see is the level wind once you are loosing alot of line with a big fish pulling alot of drag alot of pressure gets put onto the level wind and there is always the risk that it might fail and you will loose the fish

sure there is little chance of this actually happening but it could

this is why game reels and most jig reels dont have a level wind

the jigwrex rods are great i had the s605 with a saragosa 18000 running PE5

they have alot of power and will handle any king you would happen to come across

alot of ppl say they are too stiff and that you tire too easy using them

well i used to jig all day using this outfit and never had any problems
