APPLICATIONS:
The Penn Jigmaster has a proven track record as a more than capable casting reel. For years, anglers have trusted the Jigmaster for their prized catch and it is still going strong as a favorite casting reel for anglers fishing the albacore day boats on the West Coast, as well as kingfish anglers in the Southeast. This is also a great reel for school-sized yellowfin and bluefin tuna, yellowtail, wahoo, bonito, bass, barracuda and shallow water bottom fishing for halibut, lingcod and red snapper. The Jigmaster features a quick take-apart feature that allows anglers to change spools and line classes while on the water. This little trick has saved more than one or two fishing trips for anglers, when the fish become line and leader shy and scaling down of tackle is required. Needless to say, keeping a spare spool or two on the boat or tackle box is a great idea, and allows anglers to move up or down a line class in a matter of seconds. This reel is a must for your fishing arsenal.
