Default Re: Best spinning reel for blackfish jigging

A little on the pricey side but I and several others I know are using a Shimano Stradic CI4+ 4000FA. Very smooth, lightweight and 24lbs of drag...

They do however have some issues with their anti reverse system as I know a few people including myself who have to had to get them repaired. If you do a search on it there are apparently several people having the issue. In my case and some others it seems to happen when the reel is cold, so probably some oil or grease that makes the mechanism sluggish... Hoping a good cleaning will resolve it...
