What combo for jigging off Perth?
A PE2-3 jigging combo (overhead reel + jigging rod) covers most Perth metro jigging in 40-100m. Budget around $400-800 for a quality setup that handles samson fish and demersal species.
Spinning or overhead combo for boat fishing?
Overhead combos suit vertical jigging and deep bait fishing. Spinning combos are more versatile for lure casting and general use. If buying one, spinning covers more situations.
What line should come on a boat combo?
Most combos don't include line. We recommend PE2-3 braid (30-50lb) for general boat jigging in Perth. We can spool your combo in-store when you purchase.
Do I need separate combos for jigging and bait fishing?
Ideally yes — jigging requires a specific rod action and reel speed. But a medium-weight overhead combo can do reasonable double-duty for both techniques when starting out.
