Rod choice for extrem jigging in New Caledonia

[ccornaille]

Hi everyone!
I need your advice because i would like to acquire an ultra powerful jigging rod for New Caledonia but I do not know what to choose. I want to fish wih line up to 80lb because it has not been enough this year to stop two big doggie before the Barrier Reef . I would therefore like to fish with 100lb (110 or 130lb is this unreasonable?) line. The reel is a stella 20000 and I fish in 100 to 180 metres deep with a jig 200g to 400g. I measure 1m90 and my weight is 85kg
Below are the models of rod that I have selected :
Fisherman Red tail 60 monster
Fisherman Spinoza short 512CC
Fisherman Spinoza short 5120
Fisherman Spinoza short 5121

Carpenter oh 56mh
Carpenter oh 55xh

Smith WRC-54FREMANTLE
Smith WRC-55NIRAI

Ripple fisher F.S Deep-Monster
Ripple fisher Destiny
Ripple fisher Exploit Scustom
Ripple fisher ExploitAmber Jack59
Ripple fisher Amber Jack55
Ripple fisher 5220
Ripple fisher 5215
Ripple fisher 5210
Ripple fisher 5630
Ripple fisher 5620
Ripple fisher 5610

Whether you choose and why? If you advise another model, tell me his name .
I have a small preference for this model Carpenter oh 55xh. But I am afraid it is really too steep to jig with 200-250 grams lures (it’s the weight that I prefer). A small advantage for the ripple mark because it’s custom rods at correct prices.


I have read this post but it didn’t help me to decide: Ripple Fisher 5215 and Valley Hill.

Thanks in advance and I apologize for my English ...

I've used 130lb line on my Valley Hill (Mogi special) jigging rod at the Coral Sea this year to try and stop some big doggies but still failed. But I did "land" some big sharks which busted me off on the surface.

I have the Carpenter 56 but you'll find it too soft for really big doggies but I've heard the 55 is stiff like bamboo. The 56 is ok for doggies around the 20 to 30kg class but anything more might be tricky.

I've played around with the Ripple 5220 (I think) or whatever the heaviest model is and it seems pretty good and strong.

I think New Caledonia might be like the Coral Sea - big doggies but plenty of hungry sharks. So you need something strong to try and yank big fish up - easier said than done. Are you going with Poisson Banane?

I hope somone answer me that it’s possible too land a big Dogtooth Tuna with 130lb line… i see a photo in rodrigue with 2 doggies up to 100kg catch at the same fishing party , and the line was under 130lb ^^… may be because there are not enought shark and a better " sea configuration " in rodrigue.

It means that i can erease all PE 8 rod of my selection! Because i want to catch 50kg fish minimum ….(doggies/yelowfin/shark/big grouper…)

Ok ! it reassures me because I had heard people talk about problems of reliability on riplle.

Absolutely! sharks and reef are my two problems here in New Caledonia.
No I never go with Poisson Banane. I go fishing with my friends. I had the two big rush in Lifouin july (1 days before my birthday... nice gift ). It is a small island next to the new Caledonia. It has bitten at the 1st and the 4th descent in 120m of water. The lines broke in 15 or 20 seconds….

If only I knew there were fishing tackle shops in Macau. I wouldn't be so bored during my visit last year I did see a guy riding a motobike with his fishing rod strapped to his back and another guy fishing at the ferry terminal though.

Hi Guys, I,'m a Brit living in the Philippines. This is my first post here. I have been lurking in the background for a while, but finally this subject got me to act.
I too have found myself with the same dilema for fighting big Doggies, as I will be fishing the Coral Sea for 2 weeks in November. Big Dogtooth are expected on this trip. I opted for a couple of Custom built Jigging Master 500g rods, one cut down to 5'2" for short stroke and one 5'8" for long stroke. Both are overheads to be coupled with Accurate 655 or BX500s.
I've never had a Dogtooth before, so I am just guessing that these will cope.
I had put a post on a couple of other forums about jigging styles and preferences shown by Dogtooth. From the responses recieved, it seems that there may be some preference shown when using a long stroke style with shorter broader jigs that flutter well on the drop. Ocean Revolution are now bringing out a spinning version jigging rod specificaly designed for this purpose.

hello

i catch big doggies with sevenseas rods, simulation 61ti, and i buy another one, a bigger, atomic swort super expart 625 xxh....because last year in Fiji, i was fishing with a prototype( a brand give me the rod to test), and after 15 seconds of fight, the huge huge doggtooth brake my rod....

i catch some dogtooth of 65 kg, this one was bigger, that's why i buy this second rod

fighting with sevenseas is very secure, they are powerfull, and if you'rereafy (physically), lets go to the big fight!

i love sevenseas!

I am just guessing that these will cope.
