Knackers 696 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I've not had much use for my Calcutta 400 since leaving the NT. I was thinking of using it on a surf rod for salmon and mulloway. Maybe cast lures up to 125 grams and say a fillet of salmon/tommy with a 4 oz sinker. It is spooled with 30 lb braid. Any recommendations for a fast action surf rod? Something light and short? Price no object (yet) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Decent overhead surf rods are hard to come by down here. I have a Daiwa Sensor that's from the first series they made, great rod that's rated to throw 2-4 ounces, so a little under powered for what you want, also it's 11'6" so maybe too long. Not sure if they still make that model though. Other than that, Nitro had a rod that might work, called the Messiah maybe. Otherwise you might need to look overseas, plenty of great stuff from the UK and US although shipping can be cost prohibitive. Good luck mate. Let us know what you find.

Knackers 696 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I was looking at the Penn prevails but too long for what I want in the overheads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yeah and those Prevails are really stiff, like broomsticks, and the reel seat is in the wrong place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
