I have the 9ft and and use it for metals and plugs off the beach for tailor etc. Great rod. Nice and light and cast a mile. I've pulled in some fairly sizable rays on it and it handled them quite easily.

Not bad for the price - lost

Not bad for the price - lost the but cap after it kept falling off all the time. Can't expect too much for the price range but I would rate it as better value than the sensor surf. The blank is very nice on the 12' model and the guides are a nice configuration and size. Just make sure you glue that but cap

Recently bought a seajigger

Thu, 2014-05-22 19:00

Recently bought a seajigger 325H which is certainly a step up from the prevail. It's a couple of feet longer and can handle much heavier baits and lures. Haven't got a mulloway on it yet but I can't imagine it'll have any problems at all.

 Have the 10ft with a stradic 8000 and it's an awesome combo for beach/rock fishing. Cast further than I ever have before and very strong when needed to get those fish up the rocks. Highly recommend it!

I have the 12 Footer 12-20 KG Model, and it is a dream for $200, got a work out on some Big! Skippy and salmon over the last couple of months, the fuji K guides allow for exceptional casting. You will cast a richter pplug that far you wont be able to see where it hits the water!

 I've got the 10ft model and used in up at Quobba for a week straight last year. Cast a mile and is nice and light. Dealt with everything I threw at it - including a good 100kg shark. Only gripe is that I have a small crack on the outside of the base of the top section (where two parts join). The cause was partially my fault as my wonky side cast action causes the rod to slowly pull apart after many casts (usually just push it firmly together every 2 dozen casts or so) and I forgot to push them togther again. As I cast it flexed an caused the crack. This was on day 1 of the trip so it doesn't seem to have made it fragile :)
