Anywho I had a jig with a torque 300 and found it quite nice but a little wobbly side to side, a smaller version would be good.

I had a play with the Ocea at Tazzes-nice reel for sure. Light as a feather and narrow.

Burwood,
 
The Ocea Jigger 4000/5000 series comes with 15 kg out of the box - about 5 kgs more with drag enhancements. You must be thinking of the smaller OJ 2000/3000 series.
CONFIDENCE: The feeling you have before fully understanding the situation.

Yeah it doesnt make sense Chopsticks given the reel is  dedicated jigger built to take 80lb braids. I think I'll get one as a replacement to my long lost Torsa

But shes going on trademe, put the cash toward another Powerspell.
Already got me 15-24 kg viper on there. Should get a new Powerspell out of those two...... hopefully
