Piranha 76 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hey guys I'm after a new rod for mulloway, mainly vibing but a bit of hardbody/plastic work as well, after something around 3-4kg under 7ft med action with not too much whipp in the tip, will be matched with stradic 2500ci4 10lb line, prefer shimano but open to suggestions, price under $300.Looking at t-curve spin 661 1 piece 1.98m 2-5kg but unsure how whippy they are? I have the t-curve 691 bream spin 1 piece 2.06m 2-4kg but it's too whippy for vibing for mullies so if anyone has both of these rods and can compare that would be great cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piranha 76 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks Rooboy, thats the best info ive recieved so far Unfortunately the local shop doesent have much of a range in stock so i'm shopping blind :pinch: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4THALOVE 45 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 t-curves are the go i have one coming my way shortly and cant wait i am purchasing the lucanus light jig spin but will be using for similar situation as youve mentioned with the mullies Moggy23 and Piranha 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4THALOVE 45 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 this is why im buying my t-curve this just isnt doing its job anymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ale 301 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I choose a 3kg one piece Jewel over the T curve rev cos it was stiffer in the tip Piranha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blightmadi69 0 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Gday PiranhaI have both t curve 661 2-5kg and Jewel JWL682 spin 2-5kg I actually prefer the Jewel - also alot cheaper - around the $160.00 mark - but check it out- great rodJust my 2 bobsBlighty Piranha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks for the replies 4THALOVE, ALE and BLIGHTMADI69, I will definately check out the jewel range and the lucanus jig spin as well 4THALOVE, looks like you where 60 years overdue for an upgrade :cheer: 4THALOVE and Moggy23 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rooboy123 9 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I do know the jewel rods are stiff in the tip. I like the blanks, no fuji guides, but i reckon they are still a good rod. $160 would be too much to pay for one though. Piranha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks Rooboy, most of the jewel range at my local range between $100-$140, they look like great value rods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Checked out the jewels they look nice but there wasn't any 4kg models to play with inn store,also looked at the lucanus but they are super heavy for the style of fishing that I do,,Ended up ordering in a couple of t-curve revolution inshore rods 3-6kg and 2-5kg to narrow it down, I decided against the torno spin rods because of the really short butt section which I don't like for larger species or vibing.Thanks again for all the input fellas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 this is why im buying my t-curve this just isnt doing its job anymore [attachment=5862]Bamboo-Rod_2.jpg[/attachment]Is that the model they used to call the Humdinger or is that the Pile-o-turd model?And there sick guides, just not FUJI-SIC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ale 301 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Sfs and tackle world on port rd have a big range of Jewels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Blighty you should head down this way to the glenelg river, out of my last 5 sessions there was only one mullyless trip(dropped a metre fish that trip trying to land it :pinch: ) and haven't caught a non legal since early last year I hear you about the gear mate, i have too sell a couple of rods because the old rod rack is full, anyways I hope the tax man comes through with the goods cos this new rod deserves a nice shiny new reel to keep it company :laugh:Thanks Ale, I wish I had access to all the stores you guys have up adelaide way,, but i'm down at mt gambier cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
