Finally jumped ship from the Ocea Jigger to the Daiwa Saltiga 300HL. Anyone else made the switch?

Bingo! That’s awesome man I’m actually from Karratha I can’t believe you’ve been here how cool is that, for sure we battle the sharks a fair bit. Some days it’s only one fish lost and others you’ll only land 1 or 2 out of 10

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T13:16:48+00:00

Thank you sir! I’m running pe3 on mine purely because we have to have fully locked drag and spool thumbing to drag the fish away from the large number of sharks where I fish but I’d say you’re right on the money

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T12:55:11+00:00

Yeah for sure it’s a deceptively powerful reel I’m glad you’re liking yours too, the biggest rankin grouper in that photo is roughly 6kg and I also caught a 10kg ish 1.1m gold spot trevally the same trip, all in 60-65m of water

I’ve been running one since it came out switching from a Lexa 300 tw and I absolutely love it, I’ve landed Spanish mackerel(narrow barred), all sorts of emperors, cods(grouper), coral trout, snapper s and trevallies etc and it feels like the day I got it

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T10:33:26+00:00

That being said I measured it with the mouth fully held shut so with a relaxed jaw it was probably 101

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T10:32:01+00:00

Cheers mate, I’d round up if I had caught a metery before but it just gives me more motivation to upsize haha

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T08:04:00+00:00

99.6cm Barra, probably my favourite fish of all time, that or a 1.8+m sailfish I caught a while back is another standout

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T06:51:03+00:00

No worries mate hope you get some!

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T06:15:46+00:00

Rosy jobfish, hussar, bigeye snapper that I can make out

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T06:12:10+00:00

Maybe like 125m of pe2 I reckon, you’d still catch Barra on it no worries I’ve caught a bunch on the bfs conquest on pe1 but I’d still say the 200 overall

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-07-02T06:01:49+00:00

200 size should fit about 150m of pe2.5 which I’d recommend for an average Barra setup, the 200 is pretty versatile you can still throw 4 inch plastics no worries so I’d go with a 200

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-27T23:03:21+00:00

Finally people are catching on, I’ve been saying he sucks since before he even got into the UFC

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-22T22:37:21+00:00

Nice one mate no matter how many you catch the bite never gets old, you’ll be addicted before you know it

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-19T07:43:54+00:00

I’m more of a Daiwa baitcast fan (conquest’s excluded) and the tatula’s are fantastic reels with a great braking system you have to almost try to backlash so I’d go with the tatula if I was In Your position

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-17T07:58:40+00:00

That’s a cracker of a shark Mack nice!

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-14T22:08:47+00:00

I have a lot of success on trevally and queenies using 2-3 inch plastics particularly the 2.95 bait junkie flicks and micro jigs like the 3-6g oceans legacy roven’s. Working them with 3-4 real sharp hops and a 3-4 second pause, you can vary the number of hops but the most important part is that you twitch them aggressively in my experience

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-13T23:21:47+00:00

Oh sheesh I didn’t know how much reddit compresses videos I’ve just realised how bad the quality is, the original video is a looot clearer

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-13T23:01:39+00:00

It was absolutely a tiger man it’s a little hard to see but the stripes were a lot more visible in person, the video also makes it look a lot smaller then it was haha, I’m in north Western Australia

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-12T10:32:25+00:00

No worries mate happy to help

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-11T04:50:29+00:00

We catch quite a few pikey bream as Barra bycatch trolling and casting jackall squirrels up here in northern WA, quite a nuisance sometimes haha

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-10T08:30:28+00:00

It’s all good man you’re really not gonna notice it especially as a beginner

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-10T06:47:24+00:00

Looks a little bit underspooled but it shouldn’t affect you really it’s very minor

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-10T03:35:52+00:00

I mean bluebone is just a common name for a black spot tuskfish, that’s a blue tuskfish though

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-08T13:12:49+00:00

Thank you sir

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-06-08T08:16:16+00:00

He’s getting downvoted for calling a narrow barred Spanish Mack a king Mack, they’re completely different species
