Here,s a little footage of a while back , fishing for halibut on my old boat. We were anchored on a slope in 150 feet of tidewater and found some fish to bite a homade jig. I was testing a cheap china 2 speed jigging reel chucked onto a Penn Rampage MH jig rod in the picture. Both did the job so I cant complain really. The e-glass rod seemed well made and i kinda like it for the money.
The china reel did shifting well and gears seemed good, butt the lever drag was not smooth in comparison to more expencive reels. Butt it paid for itself right here with a single fish. Amaturish vidio, I know. Its some fishing in the northwest. Have a laugh on me. ;D

Again , GREAT VIDEO .
I found myself leaning over my keyboard straining and grunting with each Rod Bending motion and noticed my left thumb moving back and forth as IF I was actually moving the line to help .
