I just started using 30lb 🕷️ wire fishing braided fishing line for my medium have spinning combos 🎣 and on my medium action spinning combo and also for my medium have bait caster combos 🎣 do you think it's a great lb size for my combos

[@liangevan4007]

can i use bait on this jigging rod and reel set up ? like 400g sinker ? will these break the rod or line ? coz the rod saying about 100-200 g

[@TackleWest]

yes you can use bait on there jigging rods but if the rod is rated 100-200g then 400g sinker will be too heavy for the rod.

Hi mate, would 7kg reel drag be enough to pull up big nannygai and red empror or should I go bigger with a 10kg drag? Cheers

[@TackleWest]

Should be mate, what reel are you referring to?

@@TackleWest was thinking about getting one of ypur zenaq fokeeto 64-5 to match up with it. What's your thoughts on that combo?

[@TackleWest]

I would suggest looking at the Saltiga 15H SJ to mate to that rod.

[@ljwaters1989]

@@TackleWest copy I'll have a look. They would make a good pair for reds you think?

[@thataustralian4078]

do you think a daiwa arid 4000 size is a good reel for jigging and using soft plackies

[@TackleWest]

The aird 4000 will be a little bit small for that

Do you tie direct to the solid ring when using a spin reel or do you use a swivel & attach to the split ring mate?

[@TackleWest]

You can do either, the solid ring is the no fail option but if you start getting too much line twist then go to the swivel

[@clayslewis8442]

@@TackleWest do think a ocean legacy snap swivel to the solid ring might be ok?

[@TackleWest]

No mate I wouldn’t be using a snap swivel at all when jigging

[@clayslewis8442]

@@TackleWest ok fair enough thanks, if you tie directly to solid ring are you likely to get line twist when jig is dropping or pulling up?

[@TackleWest]

Yeah it really depends on the jig. I normally do it to the solid ring and don’t have many problems

[@yozaxd4355]

lol nice video guys but cmon man bit bias on the dawia gear try some penn slammers

[@TackleWest]

yoza xD Penn Slammers are not really ideal as they are too high speed in the smaller sizes. They are good reels though

[@steveshakespeare8365]

Great video Luke, I like the idea of instructional videos for different jig techniques and plastics. And for anyone who hasn’t visited Tackle West yet, great shop and staff, always got plenty off time to assist and give really good advise.

[@bringit3164]

Dawia are good reels but I use shimano Stella PG for jigging. My wife use Dawia overhead reel.

[@gregjohnson1123]

get a bigger overhead
