Hi again Chaps
Some of you kindly helped me in my last little project which was building an ultra/ulra light vertical jigging rod.
What I need your help for is in finding what I (underlined 10x) reckon would be the perfect, (almost) no expence spared reel for this jigging.
Firstly I'll concede that almost any suitable sized reel will do whether it be fixed spool, multiplier or pin so i'll list below what my dream vertical jigging reel should be.
1) 2 ballbearing CENTREPIN.
2) No more than 3" diameter and no more than 1" wide.
3) Caged with an exposed outer rim for thumbing.
4) Lots of holes for lightness and cool looks.
5) A 'cutaway' backplate just enough to hold the ratchet which should be adjustable.
As you can see I don't want much and am very easy to please.
Of course I do realise that this reel probably doesn't exist so I would compromise a little.
I've tried my aerials and such on the v-jig / ice rods and although they work fine they look a tad too big.
I've also got some tiny fly/centrepin reels and multipliers of around 2" diameter but they have permanent rachets (ugh!) and are frankly a bit cheap and nasty although just about usable.
Any help or thoughts much appreciated
Jeremy
