Rod advice please
Hey all
You might have seen my other post asking which is better for a reel the Seagate or the Stradic and after hearing a few bad things about the Seagate i thought i'd just go another Stradic and adding to the Stradic family which i have.
The question now is which rod?? Im getting the stradic 5000fi and thinking of putting 20lb braid on it for casting lure and unweighted mulies for tailor but also a bit of drift baiting/light jigging in the boat. Im after a rod around the 6/7ft mark and one that can flick lures but also put the brakes on a biggish fish say snapper or dhuie.
I have a budget of around 200 as im ment to be saving for a overseas trip. Any help would be nice, i was thinking the shimano rack raider snapper rod but better quality would be nicer.
Cheers danno

In regards to the Seagate, it
In regards to the Seagate, it depends on which size. 3500 and below is a much lighter use reel. The 4000 and up is a totally different reel.
