Fishing Rod Advice
Submitted by TJ on Thu, 2017-01-19 15:29
Hi good people of FW.
We're heading up to Exxy later this year, and I'm looking for a rod that I can use for Queenies, Spanglies and Trevors, but also have a sporting chance on fun sized GT's. I want something light that I can cast all day, maybe around the 7-8 foot mark so I can use it from boat and shore. Probably casting slices, poppers, plastics and baits. Thinking of pairing it up with a Spheros SW 8000 or 10000, maybe with 20kg braid. I've got rods up to 10kg covered, so was looking for something around the 10-20kg mark.
Probably prefer a 2 piece, but not essential.
Thanks.

Thanks Gents.Dale, that's for
Thanks Gents.
Dale, that's for an overhead reel, and while I love Live Fibre rods, got 3 of them, that will be no good for casting lures or placcies.
Interesting Dodgy. I've had a look at some t curve, and also G Loomis, might have a looksie at one of these

I'm running a shimano
I'm running a shimano grappler pe5 that's 7'. Works great but not cheap. . For a cheaper option the fwa popper rod is only about $150 new

Yamaga 70/2
Last year I bought a Yamaga Blanks 70/2 and it is a fantastic rod, and has become my go to general purpose rod. Initially got it as the Salmon rod from the Boat and has really impressed. On the pricier end, and two piece split at the butt so a little longer broken down. Casts light lures a mile and more like a PE3 rod in the butt and is the rod I now put in the car if the wife and I go away for a weekend and I want to sneak a quick fish in. Defintitely a range worth looking at but hard to find.
