rooboy123 9 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 G'day crew. I'm looking for a light baitcast rod for KGs from the boat. Does anyone on here use a graphite baitcast rod for their whiting fishing?I've had a bit of a look around and Samaki make some rods in the 2-4 and 3-6kg range. This is the same weight range I use for spin gear, so I'm hoping overhead should be the same. Any advice gladly welcomed, and also suggestions in glass rods too. Will only use the rod for whiting and other small species out of the boat. Cheers, rooboy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
