Jig stick Reel

[Fishwhisperer619]

Never really been a fan of diawa but a buddy let me use his saltist and I'm a believer now. Very smooth. Prior to that I would use the trinidad 16N which is the narrow model.

For our application I'm sold on the sealine series. The perform like a reel in a much higher price class and are durable. And God forbid the inevitable flip occurs and gear is lost you don't need a second mortgage to replace them. I own a 20 30 and 40. Word of advice, when tightening the clamp on a jigstick, don't over tighten. The graphite frame can torque and disengage the gears

i have casted the saltist 50 silver and like it but the size of that is too big that why i would prefer a smaller reel 35-40. I also like the torium 16 where does that weigh in

Torium 16 isn't bad, saltist is definitely better though. Much smoother drag. As to the sealine, not a big fan. The reel feels pretty weak and I have had problems when putting it in gear and the drag instantly loosening. I would just spend the extra $60

I warped the spool on my BG 30 using it for yoyo with yellows and amber jack. 50lb braid, 40lb floro and 12lbs of drag...maybe more sometimes lol.

I like the 40 for surface irons though.

I picked up a second silver saltist 40 for around $100 off craigslist and a sealine 50 for $80.
