I currently have 2 rods but just the one jigging reel (bx400xn with pe4 abs 68lb). Rods are jigging master. Powerspell 100 pe0.8-3 and ocean god 280 pe4-6 Would you get a lighter reel ie maxel hybrid 20 with pe2/3 and upgrade bx400 braid to pe5 Or put pe3 on the bx400 and get something a bit bigger bx500/ jm pe5n/ maxel osl08 etc with pe5/6 |

| Anyone put pe5 on a bx400 and how much line did you get on? 300m? If I can I probably won't need a bigger reel for my current rods and get a smaller reel for the lighter rod |
