Looking for a nice set up to jig for red snapper. I’d like to get a pair and keep the total cost under $2200. I’m not a big fan of spinning reels. TIA

jig for red snapper
- what kind of jigging do you want to do? Traditional high-speed butterfly jigging? Or slow-pitch jigging? The type of jigging you're after will determine the equipment you need.
- do you want spinning or conventional setups?
- Does star vs lever drag matter to you?
- And what about a level wind?
- will this be a dedicated jigging setup or will it be multipurpose?

2200 lol what!
My newest rig is a Avet G2 JX with a custom 5'8" jigging rod I built. 284 for the reel and 100 for the rod.

Jigging for red snapper sounds pretty miserable. I’ve done it before but it isn’t much fun.

Dude I think I spent like $250 on my best snapper setup. Penn fathom 25w and a $35 rod from cabelas. And that thing is overkill. You just need a broomstick with a reel on it.

Fin-nor lethal 100 reel and a decent jigging rod. 250-350 total each depending on rod. Reel has more drag than most people can handle and a spinning setup makes jigging fun.

Get You a Penn Tiger Lite rod in 6'-6 1/2' MH action and a Penn 30 squall LW or Shimano Tekota 700 with 50# Ande mono..
I prowl the pawn shops and find great deals.. Het the reels cleaned and repaired if needed. Also Ebay and Louisiana Sportsman Mag classified.

As others have said Avett makes a great reel. I also have some Shimano Speedmasters (12 & 16) that i use for snapper but also trolling.
