Demersal Jig Rod Advice
Submitted by joycey on Wed, 2015-05-13 21:17
Hi all,
Looking at buying a new demersal jig rod for metro jigging ( PE 1-3 ).
Will be matched to Stradic 5000.
Thinking around $200 mark.
Any recommendations?
Cheers

Eupro Giant King? I got last
Eupro Giant King? I got last year and it been used for plenty of heavy plastic work or light jigs. Great rod for a cheapie and heaps of power. Have stopped some solid cobia and Dhu's up in Kalbarri. The action is very similar to a saltiga 64 CJ so very impressed with it for the cost.

I went for a daiwa blast, PE 1-3 - fantastic rod for the price, blank is really nice I think they're worth about $240

A 5000, that's pretty big. I would be curious on how that balances - if it works, it works I guess, I marry mine with 2510/3012 Certates

Check out Bluewater Myaree.
Check out Bluewater Myaree. They have an Abu Bluewater KR-X? PE3 and 6'1" for $199. Really nice rod for the price and should suit your reel perfectly.

Can also vouch for the Eupro
Can also vouch for the Eupro Giant King PE1-3.
Had mine matched to a Sustain 5000FG and was a great jigging combo (nicely balanced)for the money, accounted for plenty of demersals and pelagics up to 15kg.
At the time, a few years ago was $180 from Oceanside for FW members.
