demearsal jigging for a beginner
hello wiser people,
i like the idea of demearsal jigging, got the jigs and soft plastics but not sure about a set up. this won't be my main mode of fishing, i have a 3.7 m dinghy and hence don't go much past the three mile most of the time.
Reels - i have a Stella 20 000 FA one spool with 30lb fireline, other 80lb, also have a twinpower 4000FB with 14lb one spool and other with 30lb fireline, also a Penn liveliner in about a 6000 (never use it really). I was hoping/guessing the twinpower with the 30 lb might be the go???
Rods - i have a monster mesh PE6 jig rod spin, and a penn 7' 6 - 10 kg boat rod which bends over pretty easy . not sure if either are the go? also a 8 foot live fibre which i love but probably too light and long i guess. i am thinking the penn rod may suffice???
Finally - anyone want to take me out and show me the techniques? Happy to chip in and pretty free coz am on holidays.
thanks !
RICEY.

The jigging outfit will
The jigging outfit will depend on the size jigs you're using.
Eg. The twinpower 4000 (14lb Fireline) and a suitable 6-10kg graphite rod will be good for 60-120gm jigs.
Over that and upto 250gm can go with the Penn Liveliner (~30lb braid) with the 7ft 6-10kg rod.
You wont need the Stella for the kind of fishing you do, unless you go out deeper in a bigger boat.

Book a session with a physio
Book a session with a physio if you're going to jig 250g off a 7' rod. It's going to hurt.

Also Ricey, whilst rods can
Also Ricey, whilst rods can handle heavier jigs especially when doing short vertical work the lighter the jig the better, you get more bites.
