Well i Finally got my hands on one for these Jigging Master under head reels...
(I don't want to do a massive write up trying to sell this reel but more so to inform the jigging community about this new reel now that i have had a go with one and give it a bit of a review)
At first glance i have to say they have a look of there own haha


and it defiantly was a little different from your conventional reel sitting in the holder
but after getting over the way the reel looked we had been getting onto some nice size hapuka so i thought it would be a good test to chuck on a 40oz sinker and wind it up from 200m+ a couple times and hopefully get something to pull some string off it.
The reel is actually really nice to use and i couldnt fault it....
the only problem i found compared to a spin reel is it doesnt make noise when the fish is taking line...

but when fighting fish it is really comfortable and would be really nice for a beginner to use as very balanced under the rod and doesn't want to spin or twist.
I didnt catch any massive fish on it but did get a nice double of a 10 and 15kg puka gave the reel a good work out and the line guide system seem to work very well but that is the only thing im keeping my eye on...


Note: for the guys asking if this reel can cast.... because it is replacing a spin reel please remember this reel is a Low gear reel for jigging and we then have high gear reels for casting..
I know some guys like to multipurpose reels which i think is sweet and in that case buy a spin reel but for guys that want a jigging reel and dont want to guide the line then this reel is actually pretty good
You just have to get past its looks first





Also i have the reel at the shop if anyone wants to a come and have a look!
and have a play with the reel in store

but please no laughing as you may hurt its feelings
