Thread: Salt water reel

Can't help with the "eggbeater" type reels as i have never used a big reel in this style BUT if you are targeting Kingis use 60lb braid and 100lb leaders if you are jigging or trolling as a lot of people up here just use their snapper rods and and get broken off. Distressing as this is for the angler loosing and expensive lure its worse for the fish with the hooks possibly holding his jaw shut and starving to death.

I use a Jigstar 250 / Accurate Overhead reel combo which works well both for trolling and jigging. I also have recently acquired a Fin-Nor Offshore OFC16H Jigging Reel / Rod combo but not yet got it wet. Just the price was to good to refuse.

The reel you are looking at should be just fine for what you want but what type of rod is it going on??
