Kingfish Mechanical Jigging Setup

[Mooseadventures]

Hi all - I am looking to get a nice overhead jigging setup, looking for advice pls.

Context:

• this setup is primarily for targeting Kings out of Sydney e.g. 12 Mile and up the coast
• budget is ~$1k for rod and reel but happy to save $ or spend a bit more $ (want quality that will last)
• I have been jigging with heavy spin gear (Daiwa Saltist PE5-6, JigStar Ninja PE4-8) with Saragossa 10k to date

Questions:

1. ROD: I have my eye on a Jigstar Twisted Sista. Would you suggest the PE2-5 or PE3-6 version? Both are 5ft
2. REEL: I have my eye on a Shimano Ocea Jigger or a Maxel Transformer
   1. What size would you suggest?
   2. Slow or High Speed model?
   3. What braid?
3. JIGS: Any favourite jigs? Weight? Colours? I have used the Samaki Hummer V2 250g with some success
