negruky 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hello ladies and gents recently acquired one of these little beauties and would like to get all your opinions on what i should i pair it up with rod and braid wise. My thoughts so far are a Tcurve revolution inshore 741ppb spin and 20lb power pro in red Quote Link to post Share on other sites
negruky 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Will be using it mostly with soft plastics and jigs and some hard bodys for Snapper Mulloway Rat Kings and Salmon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samboman 319 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 i have caught snapps on plastic to 75cm on 10lb fins braid and 20lb leader.... on a 2 to 4kg rod and excellor 4000...anything 3 to 5kg would be fine Sambo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piranha 76 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I wouldn't consider a t-curve revolution for those species,waayy too snappy, go with a tournament or anything else Quote Link to post Share on other sites
statesquider 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have the exact reel paired with that exact tcurve. Great combo but i'm going to find myself a 6'6" tcurve for it instead as i prefer two piece rods. (spooled with 20lb daiwa tournament)You'd be surprised how much stick you can give a fish with these :)Last time i was out in my mates boat I managed to lift a ray off the bottom and I pushed the rod WAY beyond what I normally would do. Had the 20lb locked up and popped off the 40lb leader. Can't believe the rod didn't snap The combo works well and have knocked over many large snaps with ease. Best i've managed on it was 13.2kg and there was still heaps left in the combo, at no point did I feel like I was in trouble. I'd never go heavier than that ever to chase snapsGive it a look and have a feel in the shop negruky 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raider 19 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Might be a little late because it looks like your set on the t curve, but dont forget the gloomis gl2, ray and annes have them for $199! I have a 10-20 pound model with my rarenium 4000 and love it, they are sweet rods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4THALOVE 45 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 i got a t-curve lucanus light/stradic fj4000 and put 30lb suffix on it here's some footage to have a gander of it in action if that helps http://youtu.be/0kwY_IQLPk4cheers 4THA trihull 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 You'd be surprised how much stick you can give a fish with these I wasn't so lucky, mine (lighter model revolution) broke winding in a 25gram lure, then it broke again when I hooked a small stick, could not believe how thin the graphite blank was:( elchepo chinese shite imo. not all t-curves are built with quality in mind.cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
