John,
Do you know anything about the Penn Jigger?...
I have been trying to use a Penn Jigger for surf fishing ...
Whiletrying to cast recently with a 3-4oz popper, not only did I forget to tighten the braking mechanism for the heavier weight of the lure, I got my thumb caught into the backlash, & nearly broke the tip of my thumb as it got pulled into the spool. It ended up snapping the line at the lure as a result of stopping dead in mid - cast... I had also cut my knuckle pretty good on the mono line...
My father in law tried to tell me that he had used this as a surf reel, but I am reasonably sure that this is designed to be more of a boat reel than a surf reel... I was just wondering however, if the Squidder is any better for casting than the Jigger appears to be...
