Thanks Andrew, noted about the guides, will check out other reviews. Appreciate it mateAndrews wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 5:01 pmI have used the Shimano quickfire spin soft-plastic rod and it's an alright good rod for the price, the soft-plastics version of the rod is is pretty stiff, little heavy but my biggest complaint is the eyelets, within a few months washing down the rod after each trip the epoxy started turning green as they corroded and within a year they were at the point where it became sharp and damaged the line.
I think the bait caster rod comes only as a one piece, so be aware of that if you're looking for a 2 piece.
I think the braid to rod combo is a little bit off, I can't say I've ever targeted Cod before but 4-6kg with 30lb seems a little skewed. Others might have more input and actually caught a cod before, which is more than I can say!
Hope you can get all the info you need!
I had the same problem with the eyelets, the smooth stuff in the eyelets cracked and I couldn't cast with braid because it would just chop me off. so I just took all the stuff out and it worked fine for me.Andrews wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 5:01 pmI have used the Shimano quickfire spin soft-plastic rod and it's an alright good rod for the price, the soft-plastics version of the rod is is pretty stiff, little heavy but my biggest complaint is the eyelets, within a few months washing down the rod after each trip the epoxy started turning green as they corroded and within a year they were at the point where it became sharp and damaged the line.
