Its still a very good reel but the OJ IMO is better for HD jigging. The OJ superiority is borne out by the numbers of kiwis buying them. If Daiwa made an OJ equivalent it would be OK. I've only seen photos of the new 600gm and don't consider it an OJ equivalent. |

I would really like to give this Jigging a bash, but if you're saying that the only viable option is a OJ4P then its out of my range, but if I'm not jiggin at the 3 Kings or Banks is it really necessary to have that serious gear. Arent' most Kingi's caught around 15-25kg
Wouldn't the Pro Gear 30,Saltists and the like be up to the majority of kiwi Kings. Can someone gis a list of what we should be looking at and what we should avoid |
