That is why I like a simple reel like a jigmaster you can change out the spool to something else like braid , wire , or lead in a few min. although the reels are so cheap I just buy a few and set them up to do one thing.. I use lead for tubing with a jigmaster, with steel spools. For wire I use a 112H with a steel spool, spoons and jigging, although I don't jig too much and I suck at it. I don't like the 113's as I find them heavy for a small guy like me and jigging them gets heavy, quickly. Most use the 113's and some of the new reels out the last decade but the jigmasters will serve you good and not break the bank. Just make sure your rod guides can handle wire. Penn slammer rods are adaquate. I got rods made by CMS over a decade ago and they are still going strong. Good luck and this is only one persons opinion.
