I've used them several times but not for jigging. I'm sure they will work fine.

PM George (lobsterman). He is a jigging fanatic. Probably can answer any question you have.

BG60s (from Diawa) look like the same deal as a Penn 850 or 8500 which work well for jigging.

They key is braided line.

:withstupid I second that

I dont know anything about Daiwa's reels, but you should consider Shimano Spheros FAor an Okuma Salina for about the same price too.

Why is braid line recommended for jigging?

Low stretch

More like NO stretch! :moon Since there's no stretch you can get them away from wrecks easier and braidsmore abrasion resistant and stronger. Also it's much thinner, so you can put a lot heavier line on a reel, and still have a lot of line.

Was thinking about salinas but have never used any okuma products.Have you had good results?
