brenton 637 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've been waiting for quite a few months for these to come in to my local tackle shop as i'd hada play with them when they first appeared.Now to clarify i use quiver tips for most of my metro whiting fishing because i reckon they are the ducks guts but in some circumstances they don't cut the mustard and these Bushy rods 641 3-6 kilo fill that gap perfectly.They will also be perfect for those country locations where the KG bite their heads off, are predominately bigger fish or the water is a bit deeper.I have mine matched with an 2500 ecooda reel and would be very surprised it i couldn't knock over a few ruggers with this combo as well.So if your now using a crystal tip or similar or your old whiting rod is getting a bit tired go ask them in your local or in my case the SFS to load up the rod with a reel and some line,put it to the pressure test and see it for yourself. cheers brenton Moggy23, 4THALOVE, trihull and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moggy23 625 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 It's a real nice rod brenton & very economically priced too, I just happen to have a spare Symetre reel with 15 lb 832 Suffix loaded on it to fit up.Used it a couple of times & 4THALOVE took possession of it for the rest of the day and I was left with the TICA nibble tip to use for chasing some local whiting & the odd flathead, just check the boat to make sure the Bushy Bait Legend was still there. 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4THALOVE 45 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yep commandeered the bait legend for tha day had a good feel to it,plenny sensitive enough for the whiting and the white tip Is nice and visible saving my bottles and cans up to get myself one will put a 1000 sized reel on mine though, that's if I can get my rod and reel off poopa snake after taking possession of my out fit Cheers 4THA Poppa Snake and Moggy23 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I didn't get to use mine,picked up 20 squid and as i went off in search of whiting the gps crapped itself.I had to be home soon so the daughter could play basketball anyway so i through in the towel. cheers brenton 4THALOVE and Moggy23 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coogan 2 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I need a new whiting rod for the boat. Haven't seen them in the flesh, but how would it compare to a Dynamix KG Killa? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I can't comment on the dynamix fella,but i rate the Bushy very highly.I would definately go into a shop and load one up before you buy either and see for yourself.Using the Bushy the other day i was able to pull a few whiting from a sand patch at least 40 metres behind the boat which is pretty good going for a 6'4 rod. cheers brenton coogan and 4THALOVE 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4THALOVE 45 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I went for a spin the other day to try out The kg killa against the bushy bait legend, the killa is a 6 ft rod and has a longer butt on it with a great action, a great rod if you don't like to put your rod down and hold it under your arm style fishing The bushys bait legend I used was a "641goto" bit longer then the kg killa and has a shorter butt also a great rod The components on the killa are better Fuji guides & reel seat but the bait legend came with hook holder and sea guide,guide's and butt assembly Personally I preferred the length of the of the bushy ( also comes in a 2pce longer rod ) and will probably be the one I end up getting Cheers 4THA Squid Flaps and coogan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4THALOVE 45 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Picked my bait legend up yesterday from SFS The 641 go to I put my Saros 2500 on it great combo now to organise a day out Pt Vic to test it out Cheers 4THA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 interested to hear how it handles the dungas,pretty well i would think. cheers brenton 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Flaps 5 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I need a new whiting rod for the boat. Haven't seen them in the flesh' date=' but how would it compare to a Dynamix KG Killa?[/quote']I'm grabbing the KG Killa. The Killa has fuji guides and reel seat where the Bushy doesn't. The Killa is 6ft where the Bushy is a little longer and the Killa has a slightly longer butt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
