Tiger Fishing

 Hi all, as the post name suggests, off to the zamebzi to chase tiger fish again this year and cant decide between a samaki or G loomis for casting smallish rapala lures. Will be using a stella 4000 if that helps, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Talking top rods

Mon, 2013-04-29 15:20

I personally have fallen head over heals for the range of Samurai rods. I have a recently bought a Sustain 2500 matched and balanced to a 2-4lb Samurai (cant remember the techno details as the rod/reel is in mandurah) and just love it.

I may as well be a rep, but Im not.

 ok, Guy at the shop recommended the samaki hands down over a loomis but must say ive used loomis before and loved them. Yea cant wait, i do it every year, almost killed myself on an electric barbell catfish last year haha.
