Spinning combo advice
Submitted by dan.the.man on Fri, 2013-01-04 18:22
Im looking for a 9'spin combo for casting lures and sp off the beach for tailor/salmon etc.
I have used the search function and noticed fwa rods are quite popular,I'm keen on the shimano jewel aswel because I have the 6' jewel for river and im very happy with it.
I have also seen bcf have a shimano se4000 starlo combo for $169 on line,does anyone rate these?
Can anyone tell me what price range the fwa rod are in?and any other info on them or similar rods,or combos before I go shopping tomorrow would be awsome,cheers

I have a smaller catana and
I have a smaller catana and its a great rod for a reasonable price. I have it matched to a 4000 shimano seido.
I also have a 2-5kg starlo rod and its my favourite outfit with a 2500 Sedona.
Check out either www.motackle.com.au or www.fishingtackleshop.com.au both are by far the 2 cheapest places I have found. I've bought off both and been very happy with the service and shipment (in fact both combos above I bought off them)

Hi mate, the FWA 9 ft is
Hi mate, the FWA 9 ft is about 170, 30-70gram cast weight and rated 6-10kg line, use mine with a 4000 Symetre or 5000 stradic, love it, would recomend it no problem. Theres a few options out there, but as with any thing, depends on your budget.
