I've been using a Saragosa 6000 for jigging on recent trips but the reel feels under pressure when jigging up lures in deeper water say getting up to 200 and 300ft, using jigs from 150 to 300 grams.
I'm very interested to hear what size fixed spools you like for these depths/weights.
Also, do you have any other considerations picking a fixed spool reel such as retrieve ratio, line capacity?

For the same depths and jig weights, I use a saragosa 10000 PG with PE5 line (300m). I mostly fish for doggies and GTs in andamans. Landed a black Marlin on this setup also on my last trip.

Great, thanks Chan.

you are def a little light w/ a gossa 6000 w/ 300g at 300’ in general, but how big and what gear i’d choose would be greatly influenced by what i was targeting more than anything else.

Believe 8k is lightest you could get away with but probably most optimal would be something in 10k range. I fish similar depths and when I speed jig, I’m using my Saltiga 10k. No issues.

the key is the gear ratio: it must be a PG...4.8:1

Have you tried a conventional? Accurate 500 or Diawa 35

Lower gear the better
