newell reel ???

[snugg]

I have a gift card to bass pro but live in SD dont want to drive up, my question is i have a 8 ft jig stick and was wanting to know if any one could suggest a model of newell reel from this list. I have a jig master 500 on there now but it feels a bit to big and heavy for the rod.







S220-5




S229-5



S332-5



S533-5.5



S546-4.6



S550-4.6



S540-5.5



S338-5
thanks

What lb. test you gonna fish on it? If your gonna fish 30 lb. I'd go with the 332. If your gonna fish 40 lb. I'd get the 533

I like the 338 thats what I use on my T90J jig stick I have .

Are those the only options? I would go with a 338. I use a P338 with 30lb, but will use 40 at times at well.

332 w/30#. 338 is same size/width as the Jigmaster.

332 for 30...338 for 40

If you feel the 500 is too big your only option is the 332 (slightly narrower than the 500), I fish it with 30-40 locally for both jig and bait. The 338 is the same size as the 500 (would be my choice as a local jig reel). If you are planning on using it offshore then your only option is the 533. Good luck.

332 backed with 50lb spectra..Then 100 + yds of what ever you want. Wet drag the drags and your good to go. Its a great 30 to 40lb reel..After that go 533..
