Suggestions for Rod for Tiagra
Submitted by Stoinka on Sat, 2006-12-02 12:43
Gday Crew,
Just got a new tiagra 50, will be spooling it with 37kg mono.
Chasing Billfish at Exmouth for 3 weeks.
Would like to match it to a suitable rod for standup fishing.
Have a few ideas but lookinng forward to your replies.
Thankyou

I would Prefer a Bent Butt
Thanks for your reply Ryan, Not much to look at in regards to Rods of this calibra down south.
Would prefer a bent butt using a braid harness system.
Would prefer not to have fully rollered due to maintennance issues or
do you suggest that rollers are the way to go.
Look forward to your reply.

24-37kg Shimano Tcurve
24-37kg Shimano Tcurve Tiagra Standup rod? Full rollered and handle 80lb pretty easily, 37kg stand up is a bit of work tho ;) Id go rollers as the amount of heat 37kg mono produces when a sail/marlin buggers off in the other direction is a fair bit. Give em a hose every day you get home and you shouldnt have any dramas, take it into your local tackle shop before your next trip and get the rollers serviced.
