Re: Best spinning reel for blackfish jigging
Thx Gerry. Not too steep in price compared to what's out there. Some of the reels I've been looking at are asinine in price. I guess my biggest concern is how they'll hold up to saltwater. I know my ballistics are made for fresh. Some of the newer LT series Daiwas can withstand some salt as can the stradic fks.
I've been looking at the 3000D daiwa tatula and others in that price range. I'm not dropping $300+ that's for damn sure lol. Eager to hear more feedback!

Re: Best spinning reel for blackfish jigging
From what I've read they are good for SW use. The special C14 alloys will not rust or corrode like aluminum or steel and the major components are sealed.
The drag on this reel is strong and silky smooth too... Was fishing with Will (River Bass Fishing). He was reeling in his tog jig and got slammed by a 40 plus lb Striper... It was touch and go for a minute since the fish was peeling a lot of line off his reel but he finally got her turned, gained some line and actually landed his PB Striper..

Re: Best spinning reel for blackfish jigging
Canyon reels 3500 series all the bells n whistles medium priced , great capacity n drag , lightweight , repaired if required right in NJ ! I purchased several last season since the sizes fit my particular needs .
I've used them all year for tog , fluke & various other applications no issues . Also use n own Ballistic , Stella's , BG's , Stradics , Saragosa etc . One year is not a totally fair comparison but I judge on issues , the Canyons have given me none ! Might check em' out .

Re: Best spinning reel for blackfish jigging
Light is key here for sure, both the pole and the reel... It really does increase your feel for the light bites you typically get with jigs and also allows you to feel a lighter jig make contact with the bottom.

Re: Best spinning reel for blackfish jigging
Might just be me...however I found that I have to turn the drag knob many times on the Daiwa ballistic reels to either obtain more or less drag. I use the 3000 model for blackfish and the 2500 model for fluke.
I like the reels overall but I don't like having to turn the drag knob so much...especially if I am using very light line and I want to "back off" on the drag a little... Joe T.
