Hey guys im on the look out for a new estaury outfit. I mainly fish from the southern bay to the broadwater and am looking for an all round estaury outfit to chase bream and flatties. I mainly do bait fishing but want the option to throw sp's as well also i like the feel of the longer 7ft rods so will probably be leaning that way. Any help will be appreciated

Cheers

Shimano have their summer deals out at the moment & you can pick a Catana 702 - 7ft rod matched to Sienna 2500 Reel for $99.99 @ most tackle stores..

It would be a perfect setup plus you can flick SP's with it..

plus with 10 year warrenty it's hassle free fishing!

It would be very hard to have a rod to do both bait and SP fishing. Suggest the following specialist outfits:

bait: CR4126 matched with an Alvey 600b reel.
SPs - E-Grell S2 with a 1000 series reel - suggest Shimano stradic.

g'day mate as britto said, very hard to get a good rod for both bait and sp's i have a pfluger 6'6" plastics rod with penn affinity reel, absolutely great for plastics, but for bait I would recommend a 9' estuary classic gary howard with either an alvey 600bvxc or an egg beater if you prefer though my plastics does have alot of feel through bait also, have caught small sharks and several fish off bait on it.
