Jig Fishing Setup- Reel Suggestions

[rps]

These reels will hold enormous yardages of 4# test line. I suggest you buy 100+ yards of Kast King braid in 10# test. Use a Crazy Alberto knot to connect to 4# Yozuri Hybrid and fill the reel. The long stretch of Yozuri gives you a cushion if you have a malfunction, and the line cast characteristics works for you.

My second choice for the fish end of the line would be Maxima 5#.

Just my 2 cents.

Excellent tip thank you! Would the braid be visible to fish - or would you never get to it and it’s just like a backing filler?

Pflueger President on 7’2” Loomis is my best jig setup.

It is just filler, but the Kast King is cheap and will last forever. Meanwhile, the Yozuri Hybrid and the Maxima are both less expensive than fluorocarbon and I have found them durable and reliable.
