Rods and reels for boating
Submitted by Jan Kapp on Sun, 2012-05-20 16:52
I'm an experienced surf angler, but want to go boating. I want to buy all the gear and extra's first before bying a boat. What rod and reel combo's is suited the best for fishing around Perth and Rotto. I would be looking at bottom fishing, spinning and game fishing. I am a big shimano fan and am keaning towards TLD's or Tyrnos and T-curve rods. Do I go mono or braid? What additional extra's is needed and is a must have?

why not call into one of our sponsors. firstly, mono is better for trolling and braid is better for bottom bncng. as far as combo,s go. everyone has their fave.

Tld 15 or 20 spooled with 15 kg mono for trolling, on a backbone elite and say a new 8000 stradic for spin work with braid.

Tld50 2 speed matched with T
Tld50 2 speed matched with T Curve is what I fish from boat both here and up north, it stops anything so I would say stick to your first thought. I use 2 spinning combos either my 1400 spheros with a T Curve or my penn 950 with penn power stick I use the later to stop big rankins in shallow water and it works a treat. Hope these help
