Choosing the Right Rod to Match a Reel
Submitted by Mac Mazda on Sun, 2016-01-03 07:39
I have a Stradic FJ 6000 spooled with sufix 40 lb braid and was looking for any ideas for a rod to finish the combo. I was thinking maby a 15-20kg rod. Its main uses would include Plastics, jigging and bottom bouncing.thanks

im fishing round geraldton so depth ranges from 45 to about 10 metres, ive seen the diawa monter mesh and think they could be good but as you say it might be a bit heavy for plastics. budget probs up to 250 but if i really like it maby 300

best take your reel to a
best take your reel to a decent tackle store, try it out on a few rods, load them up and see what feels best. 15-20kg sounds a bit stiff if you want to use it for jigging /plastics.
