Bottom bouncing combo for $350-400
Submitted by Adam Gallash on Thu, 2011-07-14 19:47
A mate of mine wants to upgrade his gear and get a bottom bouncing combo with 50lb. He wants to spend $350-400 with braid included in that - so lower end of the spectrum. Anyone got any advice, will be looking to get it next week while he is in Perth.
Cheers,
Adam

I reckon you can't go pass an Ugly Stick when you're looking at cheaper rods around the $100 mark. If he is after a spinning reel, I haven't had a problem with my Daiwa Opus Bull 4500 using 50lb braid. You can get the newer Sealine Bull for about $200? That will leave around $100 for some braid.
I fish for the future - Cause I can't bloody catch anything!

Can highly recommend the torium 30 loaded with 50lb braid under $250 for the reel just match it with a rod, heaps of rods aroung the $100-$150 range perfect setup

Toriums are definately
Toriums are definately underrated. 6.3:1 retrieve and a good wide spool. Ive got a few with the 30 and 50lb Fin Nor offshore rods and they are perfectly matched. Nice and light and heaps of grunt. A bit closer to the $500 mark though, but worth it I reckon.

yes agree
torium 30 or tyrnos 12 . The tyrnos 12 has the same drag rating as the bigger tyrnos's and is much lighter .
they bring some big boys up for sure , the tyrnos is closer to the rod so has less wobble .
