Hi I am 13 years old and deeply in love with my soft plastic fishing so I am looking for a good rod and reel I had a nitro powerbream (don't worry I have the money) in mind but I don't know what reel to go with the rod anyone have any reel suggestions I also had a quantum energy reel in mind

By that do you mean Shimano is in kilograms and Daiwa in pounds?

What would a 8-17pound rod be in kg

13yr old angler · #7 29-01-2010, 04:11 AM

Would a 7ft 8-17pound rod be good for bream and flattie if so how much are they

Divide by 2.2 and you will have kg's

More suited to light snapper work IMO. I'd go no heavier than 2-5kg (4-12lb) for bream.

What type of daiwa Tierra would be good for bream and flattie

thejuniorangler · #11 29-01-2010, 04:29 AM

the 4-8lb model

if it were me i would but a 2000 sized daiwa tierra or sol,
good quality, reliable and will last a life time.

Hey kiddo, get a 7'6" Infeet (3-8lb or 1-4kg) with a 1000 Shimano Stradic OR 2000 Diawa Tierra. They are very similarly sized reels, it's just that Shimano and Daiwa have different systems of listing their reel sizes.

If your dad has the money for a Nitro (overpriced IMO) then he should have no problems getting this, you could pick up the Infeet and Stradic/Tierra combo for $400, whilst Nitro's usually retail for $300+!!!

What would be a good rod to go with a shimano stradic 1000

13yr old angler · #15 29-01-2010, 06:09 AM

I have changed my mind what about a shimano starlo stick tournament pro and a quantum energy I think them both together they are about $270-$280 what do u people think plus I will get 5lb power pro yellow braid or whYever braid yous think I shoud get
