are Penn BTL8000 Battle Spinning Reel + Quantum Boca Jigging Spinning Rod BCS410-400 are good for jigging ?
i need to know if this reel and rod are good enoght for jigging ajs and tuna , thanks !
I usually suggest to use what to have to start jigging tuna.
There are a few criteria for tuna jigging reels.
1. line capacity
You need at least 300 yards of 80 lbs. In fact, 100 lbs tuna can take about 100 – 150 yards on 22 – 24 lbs tuna, but you need some extra line just in case you hook up a bigger tuna or line get cut while fishing for some reasons.
2. max drag
Some use very light drag for tuna, but I prefer at least 20 lbs drag to fight effectively.
3. reel weight
I’ve seen some guys use as heavy as 50SW for tuna jigging. Tuna jigging requires long hours and reel weight can be an issue. Any reel over 30 oz feel heavy for me. And there are many small, but powerful reesl suitable for tuna jigging in the market.
4. castability
Castability is not big issue when you use Japanese style jigging, but it is important to jig with East Coast style jigging with long rods.
for casting far.
As you as your existing reels are within the criteria, they are good for tuna jigging.
——————
There are two distinctive style of tuna jigging. One is East Coast style with long rod and the other is Japanese style jigging with short rods.
East Coast tuna jig fishermen prefer 7′ – 8′ rod rated upto 60 – 80 lbs.
For Japanese style jigging, 5′ – 6′ rods are more popular. When you jig deeper and target bigger fish, you choose shorter rods. Tof tuna, I prefer 5′ – 5’4″ length rods.
When you choose Japanese jigging rods, check the lure weight rating and line rating together as both are corelated.
Choose 300g – 500g rods with line rating of PE6 – PE8 fdepending on the tuna sizes you target.
as long as the equipment matches the above then your’re good to go otherwise look for something that does the job.
