southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 rightioim after a smaller rod for my trout explorations. looking on nearmaps on new areas and looks like we'll be looking at going through some rough country and thick scrub with lots of fallen trees and all that which makes my 7ft rod to long and gets in the way... so im after something around the 5'6 6foot at the most... that is 1-3/2-4kg and has a nice action to flick lures in tight streams and what not... price is no object... what do you guys use.. if i cant find what im after i will probably get something custom made or come up with something...

The Bream Reaper 103 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Check the daiwa iprimi on their site. Out in July- designed for trout, shortest is 6'2" but that is a good tight area length. I preferred my 6'6" to my 5'5" as it was easier to reach around trees and guide fish around snags. southie THE BANGA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yakmando 49 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Twitch Twitch had a 6 foot Gladiator Impact Pro for $135. Pretty sure he didnt sell it.Chuck him a PM if you want. That looked to be a nice little rod between 1-4kg. Always a option.Yakman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Banga you should try my little 3 piece raider. Chuck it in the back pack to get in and out and then she's only 6'6" from memory for once your on the river bank southie THE BANGA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

archerfish 685 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hey southie...Live dangerously and try something like this:http://www.completeangler.co.nz/shakespeare-ugly-stik-kayak-rod-xidp246399.htmlGreat for fishing in close conditions in skinny water country with lots of overhead shrubbery. I don't know whether they're still readily available - I bought a similar one quite some moons ago and they are fun to use.Cheersaf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Komodo 10 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I make a two piece flick stick at 4' just for this. Next time you come for a fish give me a shout. Cheap as cheaps as well - you could buy ten of these for the price of some of the other rodsYou can give it a try out on the reddies hereIts a glass rod as well so you can give those overhead trees a flogging with it and not worry too much about breaking itCouple of other designs you might like as well.I'll be at the Boat Show this month and strike and hookers get their usual discountStuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
