Hey guys, I got a 7:1 Chronarch Ci4+ that I had planned to use for throwing jigs, but now I'm wondering if this reel would be better suited in a different role.

I generally throw 3/8 or 1/2 oz bitsy flip jigs. I usually pitch them around docks and vegetation, some times I will drag them on deeper weed lines.

Is the Chronarch Ci4+ tough enough for general jig fishing and to occasionally pull fish out of thick stuff, or should I put it in a lighter duty role?

Thanks!

I think it's plenty tough enough to handle jig fishing and would excel at pitching. I just like using mine for other things because I feel like pitching jigs is a waste of talent. It's such a great caster, I feel like I need to be throwing stuff with it.

I fished lighter jigs with a Core 50 , so I would have no issue with the Ci4.

Same way with my shimano's I just about hate to put one on a flipping stick

I use mine for jigs both casting and flipping. It's been great

Alright, I guess I'll give it a try, if I don't like it I can always move it to a different role. I finally got to test cast it today, and WOW, you guys weren't kidding, this thing casts like a dream. It casts so well I might grab a Tatula for the jig rod and make a finesse combo with this one. Looking forward to actually being able to fish it.

Thanks for the help.
