HI Dan,<br><br>Thks for the advise. Will probably change to a bigger reel soon. But on my next trip to the same spot, I will probably use 80lbs braid as per your advise. Reason is my next trip is just next month. <br><br>I'm from Malaysia......South East Asia...and I fish in a place call Tukun Perak. It's basically a rocky bird island with no shallows.....depth is from 120 ft till more than 500 feet easily. It's one big rock of an island with no sandy beach nor trees. Tis surrounded by corals and frequented by migrating Sailfish, Most species of Trevallys, Doggies, Wahoo and Smaller Yellowfins dependent on the months. Honestly it is one of the rare places in Malaysia where you get game fish. Reason is becos tis far out from the mainland and not all of the fishing trawlers venture so far out. In fact it is close to the Thailand border, lies just south of Phuket Island.<br><br>Anyway I was jigging with Raider Lure when it hit.<br><br>Would you care to recommend a good rod for jigging purposes.......20-50lbs and must be very light. Length about 6-7ft.<br><br>Thks,<br>Pete.<br><br>
