Defeats the purpose then lol
Think I need a 1-3 or 2-4 casting rod for my Saltist (30lb braid)
Might as well wait now as the Sailfish season is closed. and see whats new next year

Morning Bro FishOn,
Casting with Saltist is not an easy task, unless you feather manually. I would strongly suggest you to wear a glove for that. Many of the worldwide angler caught a deep cut/de-skinned on the thumb when using no brakes multiplier. The line would cause little backlash and will create a loop out of the spool and thus caught in the thumb. Imagine casting a popper at 150g and the velocity that you put in when casting.... kinda darned bro. Just watch out.

But Saltist would be a good bottom, drift or even jigging reel, no doubt about that.

The Eupro rod, is a strongly adviced and bang for bucks rod. Should get it when it's still available. I did a demonstration to bro Viox, at 40deg position and the tip hitting the ground. That shows the parabolic is awesome and not forgetting the strong backbone.

My 2 cents worth.

would love to, but got snag up a tree and line snapped.
I find fishing like an art or like culinary, its a about creativity! I tied chicken feathers to a jighead hook and still landed some PBs rofl.

Buy a feather duster and wallah! There you go for a stock of chicken feather

Ah...

i would only recommend if i personally tested the rod and knowing it's capabilities. I hardly buy rods nowadays mainly because i build them myself since a couple years ago.

As for your jigging rod of PE 1~3 or PE2~4, you can consider Shimano's range.They have quite a few good range and stabile rod without causing much torque to your wrist. Check out Blue Rose or Jigrex. Blue Rose is a spiral wrap rod guides, have medium tip and strong backbone. But again, it depends on what type of jigging method that you regularly used. I'll come to that point after this. As for jig rex, it's fast tapered all rounder.

Jigging technique vs compatibility rod

1. Fast short jig aka speed jigging
- This method is usually with light jigging jigs, due to the speed of jigging, it may cause fatique easily to many anglers. For this jigging method to be effective, pairing a long slender jig plates(maybe jig butt a little bigger, or waist line a big bigger) would be much preferred. This way, the jig does not have much hydrodynamic and it's more towards the darting actions. Using these type of jigs, it would perform better with fast tapered rod. Again, i repeat - mostly light jigging(not even mid or heavy)

2. Medium speed jigging
-Now as for medium speed jiggings, it is performed in such that allowing the jigs to flutter its way down. With fluttering actions, it would be staying in the strike zone longer thus having more strikes. Another type of jigs could be used is the whirling jigs. Have a close up look of the jig and imagine the hydrodynamic of the jig shape. It could be having the same jig weight as speed jigging, but due to the in-built actions, the rod will be felt heavier. TO pair with this method of jigging and jigs, go for 60/40 rods, meaning medium or medium fast rod. If the rod is too stiff, it usually cause blisters, but even if the rod is slightly softer, it would be easier to jig as slower motions compared to speed jigging.

3. Long stroke jigging
- Long stroke is practically giving a quick shot of upwards action, and allow the lure to sink whilst you cranking in line. These long stroke jigs are usually much heavier, at the range of 200g and above. With the help of waist belt harness, you minimised the factor of bruising too. This method is recommended to use medium rods, as you are allowing the jigs to be within strike zone and target species are not at super car speeds.

4. Lazy man aka yoyo
- Another calling is called inchiku, but inchiku is more to the jig type, rather than the technique. Basically playing yoyo. Slower taper rod would be best, but make sure it comes with good backbone when the strike kicks in!

All the methods above, truly dependant on the target species that you are hunting for.

Bro FishOn,
If you are hitting on east coast, and purely jigging - you would just need a light jigging setup. Mostly casting with 40g to 80g nia. Depending on the current condition. Fast water 80g lor... and the area is not deep too.

Unless bottom for parrot fish, you need fast tapered and heavier setup

If sailfish, the Eupro Salty Fighter would do it liao... but of course, you wan to have more control, PE2~4 is sufficient. Anything more would be over kill

yeap PE 0.8 to PE2

More than enough to jig for east coast waters. Light jigging ma

Storm recently launched Gomoku Erito PE0.8-PE1.5 nia... It is being shot at east coast water

Bro FishOn,
30lb is good for light to medium fishing. It's ok.

If you're seeking thrills, go for 15~20lb light jigging.

I personally have tried 8lb braid on a 30+kg sail, STX 1st edition

Bro FishOn...

Imagine this...

1. 30lb braided line (which likely to break at 45lb)
2. light jigging rod, backbone at PE2 = 32lb stress
3. your reel which contains, 150~200m of 30lb....

BEST part is...... tadaaa!

Your line wont break... your rod wont break... BECAUSE your reel will be spewing line ma.....

I dream to own Shimano, Daiwa and all fishing tackle brand and i'm the only director to it.....
