New rod
Submitted by lachieH on Mon, 2014-10-06 11:01
One of my old bad rods broke yesterday that was bought when I was a non-fisherman, anyway I really need a new surf fishing rod and I can buy a new (has to be really really cheap though I mean under $40) rod that will be used for bwit fishing 95% of the time but the odd lure aswell. So I thought that I would buy a jarvis walker tuff tip rod in 5-10kg. But I am tossing up between the 2.9 metre version or the 3.2 metre version. What do you guys think I should get?

What size reel you putting on it. What line are you fishing?
Why do you want such a long rod for throwing lures?

Yeah it's mostly a bait
Yeah it's mostly a bait thing. I got some left over 25lb line which I have already spooled on it, going to be used for tailor fishing. I havn't re-read my main post but I may have forgot to say that it will be used for bait 96% of the time. It will be on an old reel but it has 10kg drag im pretty sure.

Yeah I would, I'm actually
Yeah I would, I'm actually looking around verge collections for newish push bikes and fixing them. My mate did it and earned over 2 thousand dollars. Anyway the reason I don't want to spend too much money is because I seem to snap every rod I can get my hand on currently. But if I got the same money as my mate did I would be getting the best rod on the market for sure
