Hi Asurada,
Do share with us what are the type of fishing you will be doing at the oil rig.

Is it jigging? Is it bottom or even popping?

Different setup different cost ler..

Hi Asurada,
It's not about the things that you will use be it lure, jig or bait.

It's the method that i'm talking about.

Each of jigging, bottom and popping, all the 3 have 2 options, spinning or multiplier

IF you say jigging with spinning, then its a different rod poundage, line and line capacity.
IF you say doing bottom with multiplier, then it's a total different story compared to jigging setup.

Both setup requires different gears and of course different $$ value also..

Hi Asurada,

Lacking of informations ler...cant assist further...

Can advise us your setup please.

1. Using Spinning or Multiplier
2. Jigging, Bottom or Popping
3. What is the depth of the oil rig that you are fishing?
4. Targeted species

I wish to assist you bro...but lacking of infos, i would prefer not to MIS-direct you ler..

Bro Asurada,

Since you will be doing bottom at the oil rig, you are not likely to hold the rod all the time. Most of the time, you will not park your rod and waiting for the rod to bend That's bottom waiting game.

Since you prefer spinning reel(and i would not recommend you some expensive stuffs - reels that is more than enough to use will be recommended), i suggest that you get the BANAX GT. Honestly, it's on the heavy side, but since you are doing bottom you dont have to bother about reel weight Try to get the largest size possible such like GT5000.

As for your rod and not knowing the depth of the seabed, i ASSUME you might need to use 1kg+- weight. In such, you need a medium tapered rod and higher poundage. Those rod with the backbone of 15kg or 20kg would be good.
