wat was this rod/reel for?
Hi All,
I am new to the site and am looking for a bit of help on a rod and reel package/setup. I currently fish just off the Keppel's up here in beautiful Queensland and of late been pulling up some resonable size reefies and shark, the gear I have is just not up to the job. What do you suggest preferably keeping it under about $400 as a package.
Cheers
Brice
wat was this rod/reel for?
usually just bottom bashing just off the coast??
go with a shimano charter special and a 10-15kg rod should be about $300 and put some 50-65lb braid on it. that will give you a good set up you will be able to bottom fish and troll with it. I have a combo like this that I have used for a few years in mackay and have a few mates that fish with me using the same. Its nice and light heaps of guts.
yeh charter specs are great but also the tld 2 speeds are good aswell, have both the tlds and charter. cant go wrong with em
Thanks for the replies. I currently use a shimano taipan with a tekota 700 to troll with....I should have explained but I am looking for a spin reel.....I was also thinking about buying another taipan for this setup also??
Thanks
Brice
