Boyington214 0 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hey Shane,Try a Daiwa 661HFS Spellbinder. 5-9kg line rating. 10-28g Cast Weight. Ray & Anne's have them for $179.00 as does Motackle. I have one myself. Latest capture, 7kg Snapper. Great rod. Got it coupled with a 2500F Ci4 Stradic, 15lb Platyl braid.http://www.motackle.com.au/index.cfm?pr=product&product_id=7696 shaneomack05, protactic and urhookedfish 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm loving my Okuma Signature series,feels like a bream rod but rated to 10 kilos from the SFS cavan. cheers brenton shaneomack05 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TT 2 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hey Mate. I am actually also in the process of buying a SP Snapper Rod/Combo. What I have chosen is the Shimano Jewel 762 Snapper 5 - 8 KG and will be teaming it up with a Shimano Saros 4000F. It will set you back around $260 full combo. (Not inc. Braid) But it just depends what brands you like. I am a Shimano man so for around that price rangee you could get a really top qaulity Rod. I reckon the T Curve T Series 701 Snapper would be right up your alley. $245 on Motackle. Check it out here mate! http://www.motackle.com.au/index.cfm?pr=product&product_id=4088TT protactic and shaneomack05 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I would have a look at the lower end G Loomis GL3 range for those $$ shaneomack05 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lets Go Fishin 50 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 For the price that you want to spend, I would highly recommend a Wilson Live Fibre or Texalium. I personally use Live Fibre rods and I cannot fault them. I will be having a Sale in my shop starting Friday 25th November and lasting until the 31st December where I will be selling all of the Rods, Reels and Combo's for a maximum price of wholesale cost plus 10% plus GST.RegardsSteve - Let's Go Fishin' shaneomack05 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 some really good rod choices here.My pic for your feugo would be the 661HFS SPELLBINDER.the Samiki as mentioned by Southie - this is a weapon as well for the money!And thirdly the 701 Snap.If you had a 4000 the order of preference would be the other way round, but becuase you have a 2500 the slightly shorter Spellbinder and its blank diameter are going to suit your reel down to the ground.Make sure you get to R&A's to check it out.After five more minutes stewing over this one.Im thinking both the Spellbinder and the Samaki are truely wicked sticks value for money wise.if I was offered both and had to pic one, I would have to flip a coin to choose. shaneomack05 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piratepom 3,197 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hey ShaneomackI picked up a Berkley IM7 Dropshot Tournament Pro Gen II, one piece 6.6’ 8-10kg Jerk-n-Jig for $100 at Ray and Annes last night. That’s way under your budget for what I believe is a quality SP Snapper rod. Lots of beer tokens left over. I matched it up with a Shimano Aernos 4000FA, spooled with 15lb Tufline XP Red. To say I’m excited about using this combo on an upcoming Snapper charter is a massive understatement. :woohoo: Cheers.
