jigging as in what type? butterfly, yo yo or surface? if you got your eyes on shimano torium i would choose the TOR30 with 40# for the surface jig. TOR30 with 65 spec to 50yds of 50# top shot for the yo yo. enough line to gain a little stretch to apply more drag pressure. im not fond of the butterly jig style of fishing but id recommend a 20 or 30 size reel. even though the fish you're going for may not exceed what you think, try not to sacrifice line capacity. rod choice with the reel of your choice can be almost more critical than the reel by itself. the rod and reel need to be matched together to make the total package. hope this helps. between the two reels you mentioned you wanted; the 20 would fit a little more than the 16
