One thing we have found from years of experience here is honing in on a perfect local jigging combo takes multiple sessions of testing to confirm what is the best compromise for comfort with power for the majority of the fish encountered on the local deeper reefs.
The PE4 outfit has been giving us the best combination of the lifting power for larger fish whilst having an outfit comfortable enough to jig all day - eliminating the all-too-common sight of the outfit tiring the angler out first!
Not only making a fantastic light-medium live bait outfit this combo makes a superb reef fishing, deep water snapper and trolling stick when needed!

The amazing lure control offered by these exceptional jig rods is also no accident — it results from hundreds of hours of exhaustive analysis of blank action, loading and response, all aimed at putting fish-catching power in the hands of serious fishers.
