Eupro Jig-Shake
My first bc light jigging rod. This will be paired with the Curado 300EJ that I bought earlier. Will review it after I make a trip down to the pond to test my new light jigging set up.

Curado 300 EJ
My New Light Jigging Reel
Featuring a blazing fast gear ratio of 6.9:1, the Shimano Curado 300EJ Casting Reel adds high-speed prowess to the high line capacity and serious power of the Curado 300 Series. Its low profile design will change the way you think about low-profile baitcasting reels - delivering large reel performance in a sleek, comfortable design. Great for quickly ripping large plugs and swimbaits in freshwater, the Curado 300EJ also provides the corrosion-resistance and toughness necessary for saltwater use. Its lightweight, one-piece Aluminum frame provides a rigid base of operations, and an oversized counterbalanced jigging handle helps move big fish with maximum torque.
Shimano’s High Efficiency Gearing (HEG), as well as, seven ball bearings (1 shielded A-RB stainless steel bearing, 5 shielded stainless steel bearings and 1 A-RB stainless steel roller bearing) ensure the Curado 300EJ has the smooth, silent retrieve Shimano reels are famous for, and Shimano’s Variable Breaking System (VBS) provides total casting control. Administering the strength to tame the big runs and hard fighting of big fish, the Curado 300EJ Casting Reel’s Dartanium Drag System stays smooth throughout its wide range of settings, and dishes out up to 15-lbs. of maximum drag. Delivering the well-established Curado performance so many serious anglers prefer, the Shimano Curado 300EJ now adds some serious retrieve speed to the equation.
Additional Features
1/4 Turn Key Spool Access

SV Power Handle Grips

Abu Revo Salty Stage LJ3 OR Shimano Curado 300EJ
I have been considering these 2 reels for a bc light jigging set up for a budget of around $350 SGD. These set up will be used in regions around Rompin and Pekan primarily.
There weren't much information on the reels as there are not really popular in the local fishing community.
These are the specifications of the two different reels. The retail price of the reels are rather similar apart from their minor differences in the specs,
