One combo, which would you take?

If you were going on a Skywest mystery flight in W.A somewhere and allowed to take one combo from your arsenal, which one would you choose?

8 foot custom

Sat, 2007-12-22 23:57

I have an 8 foot custom built rod that I have used for everything from herring at E shed to Gt's on 50lb fireline at EXXY and everything in between , so thats the rod for me as for a reel well probably a  Van Stall 250 , you can't break a Van Stall so it could handle any fishing situation you would find yourself in .

Great thread

Mon, 2007-12-24 07:12

Great thread. It has provided me with some helpful info. I just bought an 11 foot live fibre to match up with my saltist 40 for bedach and rock fishing and was pondering what rod to get to match up for boat fishing. Sounds like a smaller live fibre would be perfect.
All the best for Xmas and good luck in the New Year, Colin
