Nice. I just got a 4000PG Japanese model. It has a power handle. That's not why I bought it. But it's a bonus. It's the slowest ratio option. I think the higher speed ratio Japanese models also have a T type handle. But the 5000 also has a power handle. I will mainly use it for lure fishing for pike. I also got a 5000 size spool. As the 4000 and 5000 size reels have the same body. So you can switch spools. I think the same goes for the 2500 and 3000 sizes. It's that way with most Shimano reels. But there may be some exceptions. Loaded mine with eight strand Sunline Castaway in 50lb test. Ordered the lot from Japan. The FE is sold is the US and most or all of Europe. The Japanese models have different named models. E.g. PG instead of FE. But seem pretty much identical. Anyway I'm hoping mine will last. It won't see the salt. Which should help long-term. We shall see.

When I need bait to fish early morning bite I go to Emerald Coast Bait and Tackle in Fort Walton. It opens up early. If I don’t have to beat the sun up to fish I’ll go to Half Hitch in Destin.

The A rig is just a generic brand off Amazon. I find they’re cheaper but hold up just as well if not better than anything you find at bass pro or wherever. For the jig heads I mostly use strike king baby squadron 1/8 oz jig heads for the outside arms. In the middle you want to make it something different to stand out because the fish will focus on one fish in the school that may have something different about it which would indicate it’s injured/weaker or to draw attention. That being said, I’m this video I put a 3/8 oz chatter bait on the middle arm with a swim bait on it. A lot of times I’ll just throw a different colored swim bait on the Middle with a regular swim bait jig head. For the swim baits you can use anything you feel looks best, but in the video I’m using a brand called “Big Joshys”. You can find them on amazon or their website.
