Its best if you just go into a tacklestore for advice if you can. Staff in tacklestores hate doing buisness over the phone. Its much easier if you go into a store and they can run through products with you.

:icon_lol: sorry cant agree with that.. things like sensitvity & feel through your rod and reel play a massive part in catching more fish. high quality equiptment definatly is alot more comfy and nicer to use.. small things such as increased casting distance, accuracy and drag pressure will aid in catching more and better fish, not to mention that once of fish of a lifetime.. even things like high quality line will help increase your catch ..you dont have to spend a million dollars to get good peformance.. if you can save around $200 you will get a good quality graphite rod with a quality

??? ??? ??? ???Tyrnos is a higher spec reel than a TLD.. Metal body, better drag and no slop or back play in the gearing. Still has 4 bearings like the TLD but slightly higher gear ratio's.. shimano designed these reels to bridge the gap in ther range between the tld and tiagra.

Go a shimano tyrnos, nice reels way better value and you have a choice of single or two speed.. I would go with 15kg line easier to work with,get more line on your reel, easier to float your baits out + sounds better when tell people about the massive shark you caught on 15kg tackle :icon_e_biggrin: :icon_e_biggrin:

Both rods are good.. Found the tierra to have quite a long butt section wich made it less manageable when working lures.. The shorter split butt style on the starlo stick made it easier to manoeuvre & flick really small light lures. Would love to have hard eve grips on the starlo stick instead of cork. found the graphite of the starlo stick to be a bit more crisp & have a little more feel..Seald some cork grips with speed filler and sealer once. It soaked into the cork sealed it up good and made the cork nice and firm. BUT once you got fish slime on your hands the cork goes slipery as.

I have seen these at the tackle show in QLD.. They are strong/tuff but just way to ruff gears.. nowhere near the sleekness an style of the saltiga's + there is alot more models of saltiga to choose from. also aftermarket daiwa and other brand accesories are avaliable to customize your reel drag washers,spools,handles etc...

Hands down the saltiga is better... Both are exelent reels but the proof is in the pudding.. i own 1 stella and now have 3 saltiga's. They are the ducks nuts...

:icon_eek: :icon_eek: Sideshow, every comment u post contradicts your last.. u need to think long a hard about your comments before posting them.. spinning bullshit is a quick way to create foe's and this site is for creating friends..

The maximum drag on your reel does not increase when you upgrade to 130lb line from 30lb. If your max drag is 15kg then the breaking strain of the line makes no difference!So it would not be a skull drag...

try these, stronger cheaper, & easier to use.... http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/BAVDaLoX__DSCN0626.JPG[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/tqJxn7K8__DSCN0630.JPG[/img]

I reckon the outgoing is better for the bigger fish..

definatly mate.. they r the best for trout fishing.. for rainbows ther the best... when they do ther little body rolls and launch out the water that light tip stays loaded & keeps the line tight an the hooks attached.. preventing the hooks from bein thrown.. havnt caught snook on myn but id say its the same sort of thing with the trout.. snook can shake hooks easy lyk trout an the light tip will keep u connected... an they r dfntly good fun on the redfin... .fish. .fishswim.

hey matty.. yeah i own an use both models of these rods.... use both for bream spinning with luvius 2000's spool with 4lb nitlon braid.... i hav owned an used alot of light spin sticks but i think ill stop at these... having so much fun useing these sticks... it is very deceptive how much power these light tip rods hav... having caught school mullies on mine to.. awsum hook up rate as well beause of the light tip being able to load up with out the fish feeling it.. iam finding it impossible to pop leaders aswell because of the amount of giv in the rod & iam using as light as 3lb leader...
