So I’ve
got an OJ4000p that I need to match up with a rod... Looking to spend around $500 on the rod. Could stretch it up a bit if it’s worth it. I have a few options in mind. Kilwell "limited edition carbon twill jig rod" 350g PE 5-8 ($399) (can be found on marine deals website) Kilwell "Jig king 350g" PE 3-7 $285 Shimano Anarchy 300-400g, PE8 ($420 - $450ish) Does anyone have any info about any of them? hows the action? I’m especially interested in the two kilwell offerings, and if they are made with different blanks or if the “limited edition” one is the same thing dressed up with different guides and some limited edition text slapped on the side of it? I
realise the “limited edition” one has a slightly higher PE rating but figured marketing
people may just rate it a bit higher due to different guides and the fact its “special edition”. thanks

Both the Jigstar Ninja and Twisted Sister retail around that price point and either would be a fine choice to match. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">
