Great to hear!

Should be ok :) although I personally have not used that reel.

:) welcome aboard!

Ok.

😃

Hi Jesus, not all of them can be used...there are some that are built tougher than others...the best bet for jigging is to go with an all metal reel.

@@TheFishingKit hello kit I okay thank you very much I truly appreciate it 💛👍 do you know if there are any great quality jigging reels and rods that aren't to expensive I hope to someday have a jigging Combo

Yes, I mentioned what reels they were. :) Ocea Conquest HG and OG for the gold ones, the silver round one is an Ocea Calcutta.

😀

80g max.

Thank you and over that weight, let's say up to 200g a 1500 size or bigger? In Norway the fish is between 3 to 10 kg... Thx

yup. 1500 oj L30 for SOM perfect

The black one is an abu Revo X and the silver one is a salty stage bv8.

@@TheFishingKit thanks

have you actually searched my jigging playlist to see if a video like that already exists before you typed this comment or you just typed it out without looking?

@@TheFishingKit I just typed it without looking sir. Thank you.

SOM L30 :)

@@TheFishingKit thanks!! A bit over my budget but they look amazing

@@danielcerbino189 you always get what you pay for in fishing. I've learned over the years that saving and buying the right gear keeps my gear count low and spending less.

I mentioned this on the video.

Isn't pe 0.8, 8 strand typically around 23lbs? - not really. Japanese Spec 0.8 breaks at 16 lb or so.. PE (Actualy measurement is in Gou# )is a diameter measurement, and the breaking strain listed is taken with an average measurement - so it could break as low as 12 and as high as 18. American braid is thick and always underrated. There is a video in the IGFA channel where they test "15" LB line and it broke at 30+lbs consistently, the only way to make braid stronger is to put more material on it. Line diameter is very important for slow jigging because the more surface area you present to the flow, the more the line bows, the more the jig kites - with a bow on your line, the less sensitive your system will be. The immediate solution for you guys there is to use a heavy jig, which isn't really the solution - it's actually to change your line to a thinner diameter line - If you go with the rule "1g/foot". It means at 150 feet, you are forced to use 150g, in reality, if you go by the japanese standard of 1g/meter (provided you have the right PE line, say proper PE 0.8) you can do the job with a 45/50g jig, and it will reach the bottom, stay vertical and be very sensitive. Slow jigging is a Finesse Technique, it's supposed to be used when fish activity is low - this follows the age old tradition of going lighter when the fishing is tougher, and it wasn't invented to replace fast jigging. So, no, It's not really correct if I say you can use "30lb american braid" because you can't really quantify 30lb into a diameter, but I can say the OJ 1500 can hold 500m of PE 2 - it's that easy, because that's what it says on the box. The pound test system kind of doesn't make sense. It's like saying a box can hold 30lb, but it doesn't give you the dimensions of the box, so you don't know how much stuff you can fit in it. I will have a video on reels for targeting bigger fish in shallower depths soon.

@@TheFishingKit Thank you for the reply. When posters reply to our questions is when we truly learn. I appreciate you, very happy to have found your videos, have subscribed and will keep an eye out for that reel video.

@@RH-qk5lt Welcome Aboard! :)

@@TheFishingKit I have a follow up comment after giving this some further thought if your gracious and indepth response. Let's use Power Pro braid as an example. 20# PP is 0.23mm in dia. PE2 is 0.235. Or virtually the same dia. As 20# PP. I also think it's acceptable to assume most PE lines breaking strength correspondes with its PE number. PE2 = 20# breaking strength, PE3 = 30# and so forth. So in reality, isn't PE line, very much the same as US braid? As far as how much line any given reel will hold, that's very easy in the US as well. Every reel holding capacity is available in feet/yards just as every line length is available on the box. My point is, isn't PE vs US braid just a difference in how US vs Japan lists the specifications of the line / manufacturers info while they're all equal with just different methods of attaining the exact same information and ultimately the exact same line? PE vs US braid.... They're all the same.

@@RH-qk5lt If you can do a search on the IGFA's text on power pro 15lb, you will find a very interesting video. Power Pro's labeling is actually wrong. the diameter is wrong, so with the strength. 15lb breaks at more than double. While Japanese lines are rated as the average breaking strain of that particular diameter. US spec lines are thicker - it could be made in Japan, but IF it is specced for the US, it would be thick. I know this is very have for some people there to get their heads around, but unless you actually try some out amzn.to/3UrVpYf you won't know yourself.

I've caught Amberjack in 0.8 in 150+m of water. From time to time, I do stupid things. :)

@@TheFishingKit 👍🐬

We do the same 10lb fishing 13m of water catching large Australian snapper. Where i am out bottom is flat and not reefy so a fish can run +200m and find nothing to bust you off on. The only real obstacles are channel markers, yours and others boats/ anchor lines. So 10lb is plenty and loads of fun to hear them scream off 👍. We do have some areas where there is reefy bottom, its a different type of fishing and you fish heavy gear.

@@Side85Winder big fish on light line is fun :) Similar bottom here as well. So much fun on a kayak!

I don't

There's quite a few, I stick to brands that have their own factories. :)

@@TheFishingKit which other brands have similar braid to the grappler braid?

@@kizzjd9578 ygk, momoi, gosen, toray, sunline, I mean, there's a lot, you can just try a search on amazon japan.

@@TheFishingKit thanks but i cant find any with the same diameter to breaking strain?

​@@kizzjd9578I think their measurements are off. This braid is not sold in Japan, so something is off. might be the diameter, or it might be something else. PE (guo) is a measure of diameter, so this is what the Japanese market emphasizes on, and the only way to make braid stronger is to put more material, might be that this braid is thicker than indicated in the box (powerpro is known for this practice...not far from another shimano company to do the same). The Grappler series is not designed for the Japanese market...so I think this is part of the reason why its not in the Japanese Standard.

Try the gomoku rods, they arent that expensive and they work very well, sold in oz too. I think Ecooda rods are sold there as well - good buget rods!

Greatly appreciate the advice, any particular models for these brands? Are Abu Garcia Salty Stage KR-X Jigging any good

@@mczookoz364 The JDM Abus are really good! sorry, forgot to mention them!
