Re: Budget spin rod and reel under $70 Luring soft plastics

If you are after a SP rod, I have the spin rod for you. What do you prefer, 1 pc or 2 pc? Use your $70 budget on a sienna reel. If you want to soak bait for snapper or pinkies in st kilda area, I can toss more rods on your collection. I can also spare you one old Shimano Sustain 4000/5000 reels, the...

Re: Budget spin rod and reel under $70 Luring soft plastics

are you asking if mono is fine instead of braid? mono is good for bait fishing because you don't need a lot of sensitivity. i would personally always go with braid because it lets you stay in contact with the lure and you can feel everything that it touchs in the water. check out spider wire braid ...

Re: Budget spin rod and reel under $70 Luring soft plastics

thanks though if i shell out on the sienna quickfire i wont have much to spend on plastics and jig heads so may go with one of cheaper 2 as i transport on a bike with a rod holder and a composite might be a tad bit more forgiving. and I might need new braid and leader [is mono equivalent poundage m...

Re: Budget spin rod and reel under $70 Luring soft plastics

I doubt you will find anything for $70 that will cover what you're fishing for. What will happen is that both the rod and reel will **** themselves after a few uses and you'll have to buy a new combo anyway. Just spend a bit more because what you are after is just rubbish

Re: Budget spin rod and reel under $70 Luring soft plastics

i often see a lot to "broken tip" comments on graphite rods. they can break easily if used incorrectly, eg high sticking, casting too heavy lures/sinkers, damage during transport, i suspect most is from this even though the comments say first cast, not my fault etc. 2-4kg will be fine for pinkies. w...

Re: Budget spin rod and reel under $70 Luring soft plastics

it will be a tight these days, but i think you could pick something up on special. shimano sienna quickfire for $99 is a good value combo. bcf sometimes have deals on some savage gear combo's. some guys might laugh, but kmart have a jarvis walker combo i think its 3-6kg 7ft for about $55. its a grap...
