Knackers 696 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Mate, I have a Wilson Livefibre 5120 in overhead that I use with an ABU 9000 with 30lb mono for casting big lures and baits. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. I even used it to cast some lighter (but bigger) poppers and lures at some Kingies of the beach this XMas and it surprised me even with the lighter weights.

Cal 480 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Nice rod,cast a mile, light and tough.. if i had a dollar for every salmon and mully caught on one I'd be laying on a hammock on my 70 foot yacht getting handed cold tinnies by half nude penthouse pets..............

Live Fibre 1 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 ft is fast taper indeed generally a 5120 is rated at 10 to 15kg,and are a great "all round" rod for the beach in my opinion......will get sambo's,mullies and medium sharks.If you predominantly want sambo's,the 4120 might be better...........if you want to get anything that swims,the 8144........the 5120 is a good balance of both worlds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
