srick 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 please help me with a few suggestions on what rod to get to match my luvias 3000 reel. i have 15lbs braid on it and have planns to use it for big plastics and lures. i want 7foot. i am probally gonna but a off the shelf rod like a starlo stix tournament 4-7kilo. if theres anything out there better for what im targeting i would love to hear. cheers srick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishnuts 55 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Mate I just got myself a Team Diawa Saltwater 701 HFS and I'm pretty happy with the way it handles , especially chucking plastics around out of the kayak. Mines the 12 - 20lb rating but they have lighter wieght ones. I normally only fish custom built rods so I was surprised how good this one is for off the shelf.Cheers Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I just bought the Daiwa Coastal Tournament for the same job,its rated 10-17lb and is 7.6" for $100 i,m happy as Larry. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mullies_chaser 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 once i get a bigger real prob sol 3000 and run 10lb i will feel a bit more comfortableYea Sambo I wouldn't go past a Sol 3000 mate, unless you want to spend double the dough! :icon_lol: Ive got a sol 3000 and have 10lb. Braid on it and have caught some amazing fish on it! As for the Jewie rod, I've got a custom built Fat Dave special but I wouldn't mind a nice new saltwater as Smokey Mc. Gentalus explained.
