    Daiwa PE-4 or PE-5 for jigging reels?

    I'm planning to get an 1800m spool of boat braid for my jigging rods, and am having a hard time deciding between the PE-4 and PE-5. I've got a variety of reels I'll be spooling, avet jx, shimano tld 15, and possible a canyon HS-15. I want to be able to get 300-400yds of line on the reels. Halibut and lingcod don't have the same searing runs as tuna, and I'll be using 80# mono as a topshot for abrasion resistance and some shock absorbtion. While I prefer to fish as shallow as possible, there are times where I'll be down to 600', so the thinner line for lighter jigs is very appealing.

    So what do you recomend?

    Im going to have to say 5. I for one mostly use 6/80lb. Which undertests. Just keep that in mind with boat braid is that it doesn't quite test out as rated on the label always.
