I have one , so far so good, caught a couple 20 lb tuna on mine and held up well.

It takes 300yds of 30lb braided line. I just got the one under yours the SX450 on the box info. I'm planning on putting a mono top shot using a uni to uni knot.

[@spjintheuk]

I’d use a FG or a PR knot as they have smaller profiles making them more suitable for jigging rods small sized guides

Hi dear, several month after your purchase, what about this slow jigging reel? do you like it, why? thanks

[@spjintheuk]

Unfortunately it’s not had much use due to a combination of weather/tides/days off work all aligning! However on the few times I have used it it’s been super-smooth and feels a great reel. Hopefully once I’ve given it a proper go I’ll do a follow up video 👍

This is a nice jigging reel I'm thinking about getting a jigging reel

Hi, I bought one, there is a sound in the gear, is that normal

[@spjintheuk]

Probably not! Contact the shop that you bought it from asap

[@gomexusfishingworld2608]

Hey sir, could you send me a video to give me a better idea of what's going on with this issue? I will help you to handle it

[@davidkirksey8521]

It has some sound when using, that is because it is stainless gears. The machining required for stainless gears to be quiet is very difficult and pricey. Many use brass due to it is easier to machine and higher lubricity . Brass 2:44 2:44 They are quieter but not as corrosion resistant nor as tough. So what a little noise for strong and corrosive resistance and will wear in and become more quiet all for half price of name brand. The drag material and availability of drags should be a bigger concern, unless you catch no fish then no worries. Throw som 4x braid on it and the braid on your guides will be louder than any gear noise that might bother you.

@davidkirksey8521 Thank you for your patience in explaining this, I wonder if I could have a chat with you? Can I know your email or Instagram/Facebook account?❤️❤️

Can this reel take a lot of HEAVY abuse? I had brought Penn slammer 3 4500 and Daiwa saltist 3000 for a deep sea fishing in Asia, we had gone into a school of barracudas. It was 12 hours of none-stop bitting, both of our reels had failed us. The captain has to return us back into a shore since we have no more reels to fish😂. That is why I ask u that question.

[@spjintheuk]

If that’s the case I’d suggest going for the Shimano Ocea Jigger

[@johnsmith-xd9ej]

or Daiwa Saltiga & if can afford the Accurate Valiant…
