urhookedfish 12 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Its got to be a Luvias rod. After witnessing LF pull in a monster 65-70pound Jewie on a 17lb stick, those things have massive respect from me.IM not sure if they are still making these but if you can hunt one down it will serve you very well. Its a Luvias MLFS with a rating of 6-10lb, it should be fricken wicked for a host of different fish and scenarios from trout to small redsRead below.Daiwa Luvias Fishing Rod Spin 701 Mlfs This Daiwa Luvias Fishing rod is a medium light spin fishing rod measuring 7 foot in length and is a 1 piece fishing rod. The line class rating on the rod is 6-10lb.Daiwa Luvias Fishing rods feature the following:HVF (high volume fibre) blanks Airfoam grips Neo concept ergonomic ratcheted reel seats Daiwa extreme guide system Fuji premium silicone carbide titanium new concept guides Technique specific actionsNote: This Item may not always be stocked as it is a specialist item. We may order this reel direct from Daiwa Australia upon confirmation of your order. Please allow a few additional days delivery time. Image supplied of this fishing rod is only for illustration purposes. $399.00A picture to get you wet and of course it was made to match to the luvias DAIf I had the money on me right now and could find one, I would buy it right nowBRETT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rooboy123 9 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Don't own these, but I've had a play in a shop and drooled over them!!Nitro Voodoo. 6'6" 3-5kg but felt like it would handle 12-15lb braid no worries, really felt like it had nuts for a lighter rod. I think they have the reputation of under rating their rods. Bout $330 I think. Or I money is no object, samurai 302. Fast taper, felt nice and looks well finished. Just can't help thinking that at $450-500 there are rods at half the price that would do the same job. But I guess you can say that about most fishing gear!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rollas 2 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 G LoomisGUSADaiwa SVF (Heartland or similar Blank) cut and shut to your size. (I run a 3000 Sol with Carbon drag and I lift Rays of the floor with it easy)What are you going to use it for? Plastics, Bait? Jigging?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grego 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Plastics. Light baiting and possibly some jigs. I like the look of the heartlands. Or Wilson blade and tails atm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rollas 2 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Have not used a Blades & Tails so cant really comment on it.What's your budget?Personally I would not be using a plastics rod for bait. But I will use a jigging rod for bait. But I fish off a boat, am a short ass, and find that a shorter rod around 5'8 which is like a lighter Jigging style rod really is great fun to use. Throwing plastics is different unless its in deeper water where your dropping it straight down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ugly4Life 41 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'll throw something a bit different into the mix and suggest a Berkley Dropshot. If it's plastics you're after I love these. Medium/Fast taper, hard as nails and these days you should be able to pick one up for a reasonable price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when they first came out they were quite expensive but now you can pick one up for under a hundred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
