Bluewater Fishing Expedition

Hi all,

would be going to Indonesia within 2 weeks. While i have a jigger for the heavy stuff, I was wondering if a cal 700 would be suffice for light jigging during the slower currents? Jigs used would be around 80 -120 grams.

Would installing a power handle make it a better weapon of choice? Noticed the new ones comes with power handle at anglers hut.

If the Japanese can jig with a humble ABU overhead in the early days of jigging, I really don't see why the CT700 won't work

Anyway I have some old videos where you can see Japanese anglers jigging with the first generation CT700s.

Hi mike,

Thanks for the reply. well someone mentioned to me about the retrieval speed. hence my hesitation.

By the way, have you tried the newer octopus rigs which are attached to a conventional looking jig. Weight range from 80 - 200 grams. Think I saw some at sabre. the jig weight seem ideal for the deeper waters. U tried those yet? How to work the retrieval?

cheers
