hey, has anyone used the shimano jewel's? was having a play with one in RnA's today and felt nice for the price thinking about getting one just for a bream snook etc. flicker?

and i gave my penn applause a beating on rays the other day and since then its making an Occasional squeaking noise and gets abit hard to turn when using lures it'll be fine but when i pause then go to wind again itll be "tight" then go fine again till i pause again will a rebuild be fine or is sumthing gunna need to be replaced?

cheers scott

Had a jewel... bought it, flew home from lincoln... wifey left at airport as I carried kids to car

I'd back em, they feel great!!!!!

Gday Southslide

You may have to pull it apart and check your shaft (interesting term lol ) to see if its been scored or had a piece break away

cheers people, voogoofish you'd of been spewin they do look and load up realy nice!
spog777 i check my shaft too often ohhh wait yea better pull it apart and check

i have a shimano jewel snapper 762 matched with a stradic 4000 reel........great outfit i love it....bought it from anglers choice at christies beach.

great for salmon fishing,casting lures a mile off the beach up to 45gm............have caught snook with it too...a breeze....would recommend....light weight you can throw lures all day.

didnt think i get away scott free with that one lol

yea kk i might go get one ay seem like a sick rod for the price,
was looking at these rovex rods in home fo the fisherman today only 50bux and realy nice light feel to them, damn i hate this illl have to buy both haha this fishing things gunna send me broke

Hey SS just wondering on the price they are?? the jewel im talking about at RnA's
Cheers OS

I was just looking at a jewel a couple of days ago 7 ft 1 piece 1-4kg, went into the shop with a budget of $600 for a rod to target bream, perch and the jewel for me at $175 was a nicer feeling rod than the rods in the $300-$400 price bracket.
I'll keep looking around but their certainly a nice stick.

OS and piranha they are $119 in RnAs if memory serves me correct!
def a nice looking feeling rod for the price!!

Thanks for the heads up Southslide I looked at that many different rods that I might have got the price wrong at my local?

cheers
