Re: Best spinning reel for blackfish jigging
 

Why a spinning reel? I caught my first jig tog on the Angler 2 weeks ago using a small Shakespeare spinner. It was a pain reeling in and it was only 15 inches. I'm going to use one of my Squidder Jrs next time. I noticed that when the guys tossed out jigs either by the time they hit bottom they were next to the boat anyway or if there was some current they ended up tangling with the guys next to them.

B/c it is what I want to use. I enjoy it with a spinning set up.

I used a Stradic FK and the newest Ci4+ both in the 4000 size for Tog jigs this past season and actually prefer the “sturdier” feeling of the FK. I actually sold the Ci4+ I’m going to try a Twin Power XD this upcoming season. Found an awesome deal on a lightly used one.
