reelin 2 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 im just wondering if there is any suggestions for a good graphite rod thats 2-4 kilo and for roughly 100 bucks for bream and lure fishing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 How rough is ya $100?Got a Wilson Live Fibre 2-4kg Blade n Tails.God, I love that stick. Light as and lots of balls. Have matched it to both an exceller & capricorn in 1500 sizes, but it feels the best with the exceller by a country mile.Reckon they are around the $160 - $180.00 mark I think.

DoRi_34 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Just bought a 7'2" starlo stix 1 piece for $65 at SFS would be good matched to a 1500-2500 reel. looks and feels the goods. it also a 2-4kg rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reelin 2 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 its sort of 20 dollars either side of 100 but it will be my first so it doesnt have to be top quality to start with ill eventually get a better one ive recently spent almost a grand on a wilson surf rod and penn reel and new reels for my other rods in the last coupla months and ive got a broken leg so no income coming in at the moment im keen to get a flick stick tho just to hone my lure and soft plastics skills(which are minimal) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up the travel rod ( 3 piece 6'6" from memory but know they do a 1 piece 7 ft for similar money. Give scotty a call to see what they stock.Great little rods used by many people for bream and fresh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solid317 2 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 shimano catana 701 is a nice light stick i have the 702 (2 piece) and it has done me well for the short time ive had it. i am using a 1000 shimano reel with the rear drag reel cost me $20 from compleat angler just check my avatar pic for a look at my set up.oh im not sure how much the rod cost as a bloody good mate bought it for me coz he was sick of me using $20 cheapo heavy crap 2-4kg rods whenever we chased yellow fin whiting (losing most fish and missing most bites) i think i saw a spot on ad that had the same rod out for about $90 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DR_JOSH 12 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I grabbed a berkley dropshot for about those dollars, in love with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thefunkychicken 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I use a 1 piece Raider, but I did get a 6'6" Berkely Dropshot off the net for about $50 delivered to the door.I mainly got it for use on rocks or what not, really for when I didn't want to risk scarring up my good one.Got a little Shimano 2000 on it which goes together nicely.Cheers.
