Low budget jigging

mario_veg · 07-15-2009, 01:35 PM

I am thinking of getting a set for jigging and another one for popping. I don't have either and I don't have money. I was thinking between rod and reel 300 tops per set.
What do you guys think of a Stradic Reel which I can get used very cheap and a Shimano Trevalla rod which is 120.00. Also what do you think of another stradic also for popping?
Thanks,

I got our Barefoot rods on clearance for $60 a piece
I saw some Cedros rods today for $99
Daiwa Saltist conv. reels are going cheap (<$200) on Ebay last I checked...

Make sure you get the biggest Stradic available. 8000 size. Still not very big though...

Thought I would toss this into the conversation.
How about Penn 950ssm? Would you replace the drag or modify it in any way?
Line capacity is good and price is affordable.

how do you replace the drag on the spinfisher 950? how much drag does it has... its kind of slow though... 4.2??

Van Wildonher · 07-16-2009, 08:41 PM

It would be fine. You don't really need 55 lbs of drag anyways.

The Shimano Spheros is a good budget reel too.

I second the Spheros if you want a spinner. Bulletproof reel and LOTS of drag for the money.

Get a Shimano Spheros, upgrade the drags to Carbontex.

how much difference does the carbontex has in reels? do you recommend changing all my reels to carbontex?
