Need a Conventional Jigging/Bottom reel

Private Pilot · 06-24-2009, 12:23 AM

I'm looking at either the Avet JX, Fin Nor Stardrag, Daiwa Saltist, or maybe a Torium. What would you recommend? I'm wanting to spend about $300

mullet hunter had an avet for sale on here the other day, not sure which model, but i think he was asking 150

also check the for sale sections on 360tuna and verticaljigging.com

Those fin nors are nice. Caught some tunas and bottom dwellers on them

I like the Toriums a lot. They work great and are very easy to work on if you need to.

I own a Torium, penn TRQ, and fin-nor and I like the fin-nor the best

Daiwa Saltist Black, no doubt. I have it spooled up with 100lb braid on an OIkuma Cedros rod, love it! I switch it to a stout roller rod when targeting just grouper and AJ's, or if I just don't feel like jigging, although I had very good success bottom fishing with the jigging rod as well. That reel puts out some hellacious drag and can be upgraded to an even stiffer drag if you want.

penn torque200 with 65 pound braid loaded.either a trevela not the X raps they suck, or the new key largo jigging rods are very nice . but for 300 i say finnor or torium20 with one of the rods above they work great for me but i have never tried the dawia saltist either. i'm not buying another reel till i see one of these new penn torqe spinning reels.

I have a torium and it has never failed me. It is a very versatile reel
