plastic help!
Submitted by krakatiny on Thu, 2014-01-02 18:41
hey guys need some advice, what rod woud you recomend for plastics fishing for demersals and sambos and the occasional bigger fish? already got a jig combo just after a plastic combo, the rod will be matched to my caldia 4000 running 30lb braid, the rod will be used out of the boat usually, got a budget of around $300, willing to look at brand new and second hand rods if there in good condition, thanks

heyi am kind of looking at
hey
i am kind of looking at the same type rod and i have done a bit of research on it
i have found that the shimano terez is just about perfect
it is wieghted for 15-30lb so a little bit on the heavy side (for what i want it for)
check it out it sounds like a good rod.

What depth are you fishing?
What depth are you fishing? lure weight on your rod will be important to look at not just breaking strain rating. I find there are rods rated to 20lb or more, but they sure dont like more than an ounce on there!

I have seen folks jig heavy
I have seen folks jig heavy jig heads(1-3oz) with their PE1-3 jigging outfit still catches fish with them. However, I reckon the parabolic action of the rod usually absorbs to much of the twitches and doesn't impart the necessary action on plastics - just my opinion.

I have a Daiwa Demon Blood
I have a Daiwa Demon Blood Combi Jerk 64 and use it for a very similar application to what you are talking about matched up with a Seagate 3500H with PE2..... A very nice rod with a price tag around your budget.
