My Mood: Rep Power: 10 | An accurate Z30 or Z40 is a good choice or you can always try Avet or Accurate reels. May i know what is your budget? Thanks. Edy |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 5 | Hi ernie I think Z40 will be a better choice than Z30.... First,Z40 have more line cap and hold more heavier line...... Second,I believe U will be using it for jigging rather than bottom fishing......That means U can jig at deeper waters with Z40...... But Z30 ,I rather use it for regional waters ...... Cheers Jason
