Good offshore plastics rod?
Submitted by bigbadbustling on Sun, 2011-07-17 13:11
Just wondering what rods people recommend for softplastics/octo-jig demersal fishing offshore?
I've got a Daiwa Sol 3000 or a Daiwa Certate 4000 that I can match with the rod fishing PE2 or 3
I'm thinking the smaller profile the better but don't know which ones have the rigidity to work plastics rigged on decent sized jig heads, and with enough down low power to lean into a decent fish.
I sometimes fish the 15-20m behind 3-mile or typically head to the 35-60m areas fishing for the likely suspects.

Another one for the Nitro Viper, is spot on for all that and does heaps more. Have a look at this video I shot recently if you want to see one in action (http://fishwrecked.com/forum/port-hedland-longtail-tuna-video)

Another for the Nitro rods. I run a 4-6kg matched with a Daiwa Luvias running PE3. Stops 12kg snapper no worries. Did have a 3000 daiwa sol before this and is a great light outfit.
