Rasta Super Jigmaster

[Yogi_fish808]

This was a dream reel I've wanted to build for a long time. Originally I had built it in stock width, but had been hunting for a very rare gold accurate superjig frame. Hopefully you guys aren't tired of seeing this reel go through its changes, I know essentially it looks the same in wide form as it did stock width. Thanks to my buddy who grabbed the accuframe for me when one popped up for sale, I was able to make it happen. With the larger capacity I'm able to run a ton of 50lb mono or 60lb if I wanted for shorecasting. There aren't many stock parts left on her, to me having the best modern upgrades from the AT family in my favorite reel makes me happy whenever I'm fishing it.

Aloha,
Kyle

Nice work Kyle, and no we don't get tired of seeing this- especially out at work on the water! Would love to see more pics of this style of fishing- clearly we have neither cliffs or ulua in NC!

Here's some pics of slidebait style fishing from the cliffs targeting gaint trevally/Ulua. The line angle is super steep becauuse the water is very deep close to shore. I wouldn't run the rasta jig here, it would be undergunned. Most of the guys I fish with run Newell 550/546, US113W or Torium/Trinidad 50 with 60lb mono mainline spliced to a 15' 250lb rubline. These are paired with ~13' custom very stiff/fast taper graphite rods that will sling a 9-11oz lead 100+ yards.
