Hey guys,
My next season goal is to get better at jigging for salmon. I've had meager success to this point. I've read and re-read Waterwolf's jigging guide many many times so I think I'm getting the feel of it more and more each time.
However, I don't have the right tools for the job - our jigging setups are garage-sale specials and lack backbone, retrieve speeds and overall quality (broken eyes, crappy line etc etc). So looking for an upgrade. I can't bring myself to spend $500+ for the setups mentioned in Waterwolf's guide, and from other members' recommendations (as I'm a troller primarily). My budget is $250-$300 for Rod/Reel, I have Multicoloured braid and some Butterfly Jigs / Mac Deeps in the box.
Recommendations?
