Saintly Fish Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Ok, so after loosing my conoflex kayak rod and shimano 4000 FS reel yesterday. I’m in the market for a replacement set up. Im thinking a rod and reel for mackerel fishing, bream and maybe a bit of jigging? I don’t want to buy a specific rod for jigging as I don’t really do it. But I do have a couple of jigs 80g that could be used at Yarmouth deep in the solent. It’s a place I drift for bass. So what recommendations can you guys offer? @Terry Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Smith Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 We all know about the Shimano Reel availability at the moment but I've just managed to get hold of the Sustain 4000XG so I have a limited number in stock. https://jigabite.co.uk/productspds.aspx?sectionID=651&mv=1&sn=1 Take a look at the Temple Reef Mythos Light range ( the Best light jigging rods on the market) https://jigabite.co.uk/productspds.aspx?sectionID=124&mv=0&sn=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Smith Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 No problem, Jigabite only supplies mid to high end rods and reels so you would be better off down your local tackle store I guess? Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that’s fine. Just didn’t know if you sold other stuff too. I’d rather give my money to a forum member, but never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 For what you plan to use it for, a light to medium spinning rod would be a suitable option. Savage Gear do some decent spinning rods. I also seem to remember that there's an Ugly Stik spinning version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spinning rod would be fine for bream and macks, and would also do double duty as an occasional jigging rod. I reckon you need to go back to bed Steve...
