rockfisherman Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just depends how much you want to spend mate. Power pro is above most of the rubbish brands and a lot of people use it. You can spend crap loads more, but at the end of the day, entirely up to you. Harry If it's to good to be true, it usually is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolongeramember Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I use YGK jigman and its lasted a very long time now. Whatever you get, get one with the changing colours every 10 metres. It's very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostproperty Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi guys, Just a question for those who downrig for kings. I want to spool my Okuma Salina 3 Spin Reel with 80lb braid. What would be the best braid for this? Will be doing a fair bir of downrigging at Sydney and Jervis Bay. Cheers What model salina did you get? I got a 10000 and only just managed to fit 300yards of 50lb power pro on it with pretty much no backing. If you've got a 10000 series try fine the smallest diameter braid possible, 16000 has a bit more space but I would expect close to the same capacity. The guide provided by okuma is way off, I compared diameter of the actual braid against their guide and was off by about 100m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Stalker Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Berkeley whiplash is a favorite of mine. Nice and thin, casts poppers well and has great durability. Luc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I have one reel with powerpro and another with cheap chinese braid that is less than half the price and works exactly the same, just isn't as thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinfisher 4.9 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Hi stillwater, I checked out the specs for the Okuma Salina 3 It didn't specify the drag pressure that it can handle, but say it is 8kgs which may be a stretch then there is little point of using any line greater than 50lbs at the very most. I have a Stella 18000 with 20kgs of drag and don't use more than 80lb braid. If you cant use the line to anywhere near the limit, I see little point. I would also add, that there is no way I can fight with the drag at near 20kgs. Edited May 7, 2014 by Twinfisher 4.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikea Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I use YGK jigman and its lasted a very long time now. Whatever you get, get one with the changing colours every 10 metres. It's very helpful. The colour changes at 10 M is sooo good. First used it jigging for big Kings in NZ where the Skipper would say "let it down 8 colours" that is where the fish are." Worked a treat!
