Hi. Can anyone tell me what the max drag for the older jigstar 250g is? The one with the metal alps reel seat that always comes loose. And has any one snapped one and what kind of drag were they running when they did. I just got a second hand pe5 but cant get a rod for it just yet with out running the risk of having to get a divorce and I have one of these in the rod rack. Cheers ------------- I'm what Willis was talking about |

im sure it will be fine for normal people drag... there is no need to get ridicules when it comes to drag as many people do.. all depends on how you fight the fish, it will handle unreal drag with a shallow angle zac

I run an accurate bx400 on the jigstar and i have had it at sunset once and it popped the pe5 braid but the rod was loving it 
Give it heaps mate just dont lift your rod too high and you'll be golden

I had one before....the black ones right?Mark one or younger model?..........just watch your grips dont get cut to bits by the braid.......some think its cool but over time they can become a bloody mess.
