Ugly4Life 41 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 the t-curves are really good rods. can't go wrong. popular and reliable.don't know about the ifish nano's as I haven't seen one, but the catana nano's are great. 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Langley 30 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 cheers guys really appreciate the feedback sounds like the t-curve may be the way to go is there any other bang for buck rods around? 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I personally have never liked Shimano rods, for my money Daiwas are heaps nicer, the Generation Black series is a great bang for buck lineup of rods. 4THALOVE and Yakmando 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yakmando 49 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yep, plankton hit the nail on the head! IMO the tcurve is to sloppy really. I owned a 1-3kg for a year before loosing it over the side, and then replaced it with a gen black. Gen black is so much crisper and responsive! Also, the gen black uses very high quality blanks equal to some of daiwas $350 rods.What is he using it for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TT 2 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 If your mate is keen on a Nano Rod, How about the new Nano PX?It's the same sort of quality of a T Curve (higher than a PW Rod) but also all the crispness, strength etc of a nano rod.Have a look here mate TT http://www.shimanofish.com.au/publish/content/global_fish/en/au/index/products/rods/Spinning/nano_px.html(Price Tag may be out of your mates range though just a heads up...)

Fishunter86 3 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Go the Nano!!! Bought one to replace my 2-4kg raider after she went snap. Better feel, stronger, lighter, better casts etc.I've had a tcurve in the same weight class, and would go the nano over and over. Will probably convert all my rods to the shimano nano, even if it does have PW name on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yakmando 49 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Bahaha. Pretty sure the Nano PX is $650 bud. You are thinking of the Impact Nano XT. That's more the $130 range. As I said previously, go a gen black Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fishingmad 306 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ok thankyou guys I will probably get the diawa gen black pinster (2-5 kg) I'll be using it in estuaries and off jetties so this should be perfect. I'll be pairing it with a shimano Sahara to start with until I save up for something better like freams or something. What is the best size reel to go with this rod?

plankton 725 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 The 2500 will be perfect. Are you getting it from overseas? I didn't think the Sahara was available here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishingmad 306 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nah I'm getting it from bcf as it's all that I can really afford ATM but I will probably upgrade to something like a stradic after a while. So 2500 shimano Sahara it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
