Kalbarri river gear
Submitted by Ben01 on Mon, 2014-04-07 09:51
Just after suggestions for gear appropriate for the Murchison in Kalbarri and for light beach use with little/no swell. Something suitable for a calm perth beach also.
Not for chasing anything too big, just the bread and butter stuff. And has to be female friendly - yes chasing something small enough for the missus and also something I can also use when back in Perth off a calm beach or jetty/rocks for whiting/herring/small tailor etc etc...
Mainly bait use but don't mind flicking the occasional lure or plastic...
Prefer fibreglass :) Budget preferably under $250.
** I was thinking maybe a Silstar crystal power tip in either 7' or 8'. Can get the 7' (4 - 7kg's) with an Okuma Avenger 40 reel for around $140.**
Thanks guys.

Hey mate I have a silstar legacy power tip 6'6 and it's a good rod handles whiting and herring have pulled up a few small port jacksons on it and it still hasn't let me down and it's quite a light rod easy to handle

Also interested in this as
Also interested in this as ill be up in Kalbarri for a week over easter and will be hitting the river! Currently will just be punting my Trion with Stradic 2500 and sending out baits, hard bodies and softies for the week! I figure i should be setup decently well for what i am chasing - which is mainly bream!
