Seeking a light baitcast rod in AU

[anguslai]

Hi all, I am just woundering is there any light baitcasting rod in australia ? I am looking for a rod which has soft body can able to cast some light lure 2g- 5g. Previously, I was using a shimano baitcast trout rod and I can't find any of them in my area Adelaide. Cheers

try a g.loomis crankbait they are a great little rod very light

[mitchmcm]

well there are a few carrot stix, pfluger trion classic, loomis make a few also look at america they have some awsome stuff super cheap. tacklewarehouse.com
the main thing is to have an awsome baitcast reel as casting lures that light on a baitcaster becomes hard without a reel with good bearing.

cheers mitch

yeah dude pixy rods are the best

hey bud,
good luck finding a pixy, they're as rare as rocking horse droppings.
i have found daiwa and megabass to provide the best of the best when it comes to light bc rods. i dont know what your budget is, but for hi-end gear my steez and pagani bc rods have performed brilliantly with sub 6g lures.
its also important to match your light rods to 'light' reels, eg steez 103, pixy px68r, as they require less start up inertia to let little lures fly. fill them up with a thin braided line, maybe sunline castaway, and u have a sick biccy outfit.
as fantastic as these rods and reels are however, i would suggest learning to cast your light lures on spinning gear accurately instead, not saying that u cant tho

cheers

If you are on a budget the pfleuger trion bc's are pretty good. I have been using two of the lighter class trions with pixy's on them and they go okay. I have never had the opportunity to compare them to a top end bc rod though.
