Fishing Applications and fishing reel suggestion guide

Okuma Azores Jigging rod range are ideal for boat fishing and as you would have guessed by now perfect for deep jigging with vertical or butterfly style jigs. However it doesn’t stop there. When you’re not in the mood to jig for monster kingfish or whatever else may be on the table since jigging can be back breaking work and after an hour or so of doing it you may likely be very sore and tired, then you can also use this rod as a heavy boat rod for bottom bashing with baits or even to do a little bit of trolling on spin gear with some light skirted lures or diving minnow lures.

Matching up a reel to your new Azores rod is the next piece in the puzzle. We suggest using a reel in the 55, 60, 70, 4500, 5000, 6000, 7000 for the 602M Model. For the 572MH rod we suggest using a 65, 75, 6500, 7500, 6000, 7000 sized reel. And for the 572H heavy series a 65, 75, 80, 7000, 8000, 10,000, 14000 sized reel will be fine.
