mosler 0 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 So I am lookign for a rod made by a well known brand e.g. daiwa, shimano, ugly stick. More importantly, a rod that is 8-9 ft in length with a rating of about 4-8kg. I plan on using it for salmon and tailor but wont be using it entirely for surf. A price range of about $100-$150 Can anyone helpme please?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 samaki 9ft allure rods are good but there around 170 from memory, 8/9ft shimano cantanas are ok but had one snap on me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I got one of the new Daiwa Seabass rods a few months ago, brilliant lightweight rod for salmon in the surf, fast action, rated 4-8 kg and will throw up to 30g, a bit longer at 9'6" though. Got mine for $150 from Fishing Wholesalers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mosler 0 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Is the samaki rods thin like a normal rod or thick like a surf rod?? I am wanting a thin rod which is good for casting lures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mosler 0 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Just curious, what is the difference between the allure 9ft rod and the zing 902 9ft rod. To me they are the same. Same length, same action, same line rating, same number of sections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 The Zing feels better in the hand and i think might be a little lighter. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knackers 696 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I had a 9 ft Wilson Live Fibre Trophy 1 pce 4-6 kg. I broke it unfortunately, my fault. It was good enough that I bought a second one in two piece.http://www.wilsonfishing.com.au/_products//Fishing+Rods/Live+Fibre+Rods/Live+Fibre+ESTUARY+++LIGHT+SURF+Rods/Live+Fibre+Trophy+9++4-6kg+2pce+Rod-163-1409-.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kuerschie 2,309 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I've got the Dynamix Shore spin from R&A, was $100 from memory. 9 ft, medium to fast taper. great for beach luring. Its pretty much an improved rod built from the Starlo Classix range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
