Saltiga5 3 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have a Saltiga Surf Spinning reel and want to get a rod to suit.I will be using it at Salt Creek and yalata for mulloway.II have been looking at a pacific composite 4120 graphite 12'9" 10-15kg 2 piece rod at fishermans paradise.Anyone recommend anything else?

Guest undertaker Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 My school of thought is that the class of fish at Salt Creek and Yalata are worlds apart!At Salt Creek,I have fished for mulloway with a 4120,no probs,getting fish to 30lb.My first Yalata trip saw that rod "destroyed",losing a nice fish indeed :'(Next Yalata trip,I had purchased a couple of 8144's......one for my Penn 9500SS,and the other for a Penn Senator 4/0........They did the business for me,landing a 40lber,and also a nice bronzie in the 6 to 7 foot range.Rods are Wilsons,and were around the $150 mark each from memory.All depends what you want to spend..........perhaps something a bit more "up market" for the Saltiga though ;)Just my thoughts though.

szopen 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Have a look here:http://tinyurl.com/5tjvv3Starting at the lower price range of Prime Surf o the rather expensive Land Surf or Cast'izm you can find something suitable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
__matt__ 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Saltiga judging by the fact that you are using a saltiga surf (pricy bit of equipment there!) I would find it hard to beat one of the Sensor surfs. I have one of the 13 footers that are rated to 40lb and they are wicked. Really stingy blank that sets hooks quick as and the extra length and positioning of reel seat lets you launch big baits a mile. http://www.daiwafishing.com.au/daiwa.cfm?page=rods&rods=surfrock&product=sensorsurfThat said, judging by you’re reel purchase, you are after the best and in that case I would be going for one of the matching Saltiga surf rods, as there built to match.

Brooksey_134 1 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 i agree with matt if you get a wiked reel like you have you should defiantly get a wiked rod to match, like matt said saltiga surf rods ar the go!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruzer 0 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hey Saltiga, You might want to have a look at the Wilson MULLOWAY...10-20kg.Rod code is RM2OM1. The blank is a FSU6144,and makes a great west coast mulloway rod. Cheers cruzer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borryking 6 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have organised to get a Pacific Composite 4120 Graphite rod made up and extended to 12 ft 9 inch.It will be rated 10 - 15kg.I would have thought you would have had to go a 5120 to get that sort of rating. The 4120 is not known as a gutsy blank. My mate has a Pac Comp 5120 extended to 12 foot and that does the job well. That is what I would be looking at if I was looking in this series. I have a 10-15kg Livefibre that does the job beautifully, and in my opinion is much nicer that the 4120/5120 blanks that I have seen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
