Soft plastic rod
Submitted by joycey on Sat, 2014-01-25 23:35
Hi guys, after some advice
Looking to buy a rod for metro demersal soft plastic fishing .
Will be using it for range of locations including snapper in cockburn sound, inshore reefs, FFB and upto the 30-40m depths
Will be pairing it with a 4000 or 5000 spin reel
Budget $100-200.
Cheers for any recommendations

Do you not find it too heavy for working the lighter soft plastics ( 3/8-1/2 ounce ) when after snapper etc.

Eupro Giant King
I have a pe 0.6-1.2 I think, feels pretty sweet. They do a pe 1.5-3 also, Oceanside had both in stock when I bought mine. Worth a look at least...

for Eupro's.
I own 3 different models and personally don't think they can be beaten in their price range.
ps. Storm Gomoku's get possibly the widest range of reviews i've even seen for a new rod. Not sure i'd run the risk and shell out $150.

Have you seen the Storm
I use the heavier of the 3 Gomoku models, rated to pe 1-3 paired with a daiwa td sol 3000 for my plastic fishing off the boat, awsome little rod.
