Need advice on new combo purchase
Submitted by Pezdog on Fri, 2011-05-06 10:58
Hi guys
Hoping some can help me with my dilemma. Need advice on a new combo I want to buy. Heading down south with my old man and he can use my current old Abu combo and I will buy something new. Heading off the Busso Jetty and a few landbased spots in the bay.
Will be for smallish species. Bream, Whiting, Tailor, Squid and Herring etc for landbased mainly.
Budget hoping for combo around $400 max
Stradic, Luvius etc look good but more direction plus rod selection would be great!!
Thanks in advance guys!
Cheers

New combo.
Reels are easy to choose from but rods are abit harder as individual preferences can vary a fair bit.
Our recommendation for the sort of fishing you mentioned is to go to a longish rod, ie FWA series squidding rod. Its not as soft as many people think. They can handle up to 10-12lb braid. Reason for this choice is the length. 8ft long, awesome casting distance and very lightweight, great match up to small reels.
For a limited time, on top of the FW discount, you'll get a free FWA DVD as well !!

Thanks Brucesta
Unfortunately they don't have any Stradics in stock and I am keen to get 1 this week. Ive had a little chat with Hon-Su and will pop in soon but just want to get a Stradic this week so if anyone knows where I can get 1 at a good price I would be keen.
Also is the Ci4 worth paying the extra $100 than the FI?
Cheers
