There are new model Sensor Surfs out.
I have the older one (the $179) I think the new ones come with the K Guides.
I reckon R&A's must still have the old ones, that's where I got my run out Sea-Jigger's.
Daiwa make great rods,i have quite a few.
I reckon you'd be happy with either Sensor's or the heavy Sea-Jigger.
Personally I'd go for the older Sensor for that price.
There's also a couple of recent threads on a national bream forum on expensive (proper expensive) salmon lure casting outfits.

I have two of the older model Sea-jiggers the light & the medium , haven't used the heavy.(bought cheap as discontinued stock)
Agree with Plankton on Daiwa overating their cast weighs.
I generally throw 28gm. with the L (3000 reel) & 40gm. with the M. (4000 Reel)
I reckon the Sensor Surf balances the best with the 5000 {60-85gm.). It can also be used for lighter baits & sinkers, bit stiffer than the Sea-jiggers & a fair bit cheaper,
But the heavy Sea-jigger would probably suit too, depends how much you want to pay.
I use my Sea-jiggers for Metro. & Fleurieu beaches & the Sensor Surf for the bigger West Coast fish.
Not much help sorry.
Just my experiences.

I'll put in my recommendation for the NS One's rods. I use mine for Trout and Redfin mainly, but it has claimed its share of Bream, Salmon and some school mulloway aswell! The 702L model is 2-4kg, 7 foot, 2 piece, balances nicely with a 1000 size reel, and works both Plastics and Hardbodies well! (Looks stunning aswell, but I'm a sucker for cork)
I just bought one of these.
Feels great, haven't caught anything on it yet tho.
Well priced too.

The gate #'s have changed.
So this is probably the info I'm after.
Thanks all.
-
I'll have to keep an eye on that page & see if the gate # changes.
Unfortunately it appears SA Water don't give out the information anymore.
A shame it was an interesting & useful tool.
-
Thanks Pants.
Do you reckon the # under the gates is how many are open?
The old page used to show how many gates were open & what time it was updated, it was quite clear.
Am using phone, so excuse me if it's clear as day on the full website.
-
Could anybody supply me the link for the status of the five barrages down Goolwa way.
A while back I found a site that showed how many gates were open, can't seem to find it now.
Think it was SA water.
Went down the other day & it was full of fresh on top, with the only pure saltwater above Tauwitchere.
Didn't get a touch.
Thanks in advance.

I've got three.
Depends where I'm fishing, generally use the heavier setups on the WC.
10ft. Sensor Surf with a 500FJ & 20lb. Sunline Super PE.
10ft. Sea Jigger with a 4000FJ & 15lb. Super PE
& for local beaches a
10ft. 6in. Sea Jigger with a 3000 Ultegra HG running 10lb. Power Pro.
Love em all, depends on the conditions & the fish to which I use.
All older model rods.
Guess I subscribe to the Shimano rods are no good too.
-
I was having the same problem with the Improved Albright.
Switching to the Slim Beauty did the trick for me.
-
Cool. Thanks for that I'll get a few of each.

Looking @ expanding my HB collection, what are everyone's favourite colours for Bream in our local waters ?
The 60mm. or the 75mm. ?

Compleat Angler on Flinders Lane has a bit of gear. Not massive but It's the only one I could find in the CBD.
-
That's what I was thinking.

Loaded it up today on a big ray. Ended up locking up the drag & snapping the 20lb. leader.
Now to hook something that shakes it's head !
-
-
I'll check them out too. Thanks.
-
They look good SJ thanks.
I'll have to go in & have a look @ the Nabura's Ale, they look the best locally. I had a look at the specs & the Stradic is 16grams. heavier than the Certate so should be alright. Thanks.
Would love a Nitro Viper but they're
outside my preferred range. Most reviews reckon they're top notch, any feedback ? (Could possibly stretch the budget if they're that much better)

Anyone used one of the Daiwa Blast Rods ?
-
Cool.
They're the type of suggestions I'm after.
Will check em out.

Hey all
I'm looking for a spin rod 6'6" - 7ft., will be using a Stradic FJ 4000 with 15lb. Super PE. Hope to use it for bait fishing for inshore Snapper & casting metals & poppers for Salmon etc. in the boat.
I'm after an 6-8kg. rod with a cast weight of 10-50g., most of the rods in that class I've seen cast up to 1oz. tops.
Am I asking too much of the one rod ?
The 6-10kg. rods seem a bit heavy, but they may be the only answer. My other option would be a light jigging rod, but not keen on the slow tapers.
Any feedback on these rods ?
Nabura 67s
Budget is $250, any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Bought some lures of this bloke last year, pretty sure they were Lock Lures. Send him a question, @ Golden Grove too.
