  1. G'day plankton. A question about your Daiwa Seabass- do you use it much for soft plastics? How does it go with 1/4oz jigheads and plastics finesse style? I don't use it much for sp's myself because I prefer metal lures for salmon flicking, but it's a fast action rod and will work plastics well. I have a couple packets of pre-rigged sp's that I usually carry with me and have gotten out on occaision, they just don't cast as far as the metals. Sweet spot on the rod is 15-20g, so 1/4 jighead and a 4-5" plastic would work well. It also makes a fine LB squidding rod. Plankton- Than

  3. So after much deliberation trying to decide between the L or the M, my choice ended up being made for me. By the time i got down to BCF to take advantage of their sale, the only models left were the L’s. It was probably omgbonjo that snapped up the last M, hehe. Anyway, happy with it regardless and now just keen on hooking up something with it. Thanks all for your responses and advice. Cheers Shorejigger: I have an FJ 4000 stradic with 15lb Power Pro for it.
  4. Fishing Guru: Jaysus! That’s a lot bigger than I would have expected it to be able to bring in. Maybe I’m underestimating these rods. Would have been an impressive battle I’m guessing. And thanks for the response Shorejigger. That’s a good point you make. I’d always considered the weight of a plastic to be negligible or less than 5g, so it wouldn’t amount to much extra. Never thought they’d go 27g for a 130mm. Good to see someone else concerns themselves with the ‘details’ also haha. Now you’ve given me more to think about. Cheers
  5. Thanks for your responses plankton & Fishing Guru. I have come across that assessment before about Daiwa rods; that their weight range is overstated. I had hoped to cast up to a 2oz sinker with the L model, but it’s probably a little ambitious. Although 45g would be workable. Plankton, had you ever tried casting a lure (or soft plastic) that was below 30g? I'm wondering how a 325M would go with a 3/4 to 1oz jighead; whether it would even load up with a weight under its rating. Also, what was the largest fish either of you have pulled in with them? Cheers
  6. G'day all, I was after some info from anyone who uses Daiwa Seajigger rods, specifically the SJ325L. Just wanted to get an idea as to what sort of bait setups are being used with it .ie. how heavy the sinker and bait combinations people use are, what they generally target with it. I’ve had a play with the Seajiggers in store and noticed that the L model is a lot more “whippy” and flexible than the heavier models. I’ve no doubt that it’d be great for casting light lures but I was would like to know about its potential for casting sinker/baits (within its designated weight rang
