Hey breamers,
Do you know which tackle shop in Perth sell a samaki zing rod?
And also how much does a 1-3kg usually cost?

Thanks!

i see...
Between Samaki Zing and Pflueger Medalist Tournament Drop Shot which is a better rod?

You can usually get them for around $170-180. If your store is doing them for more then just show them the price of another tackle store and im sure they will beat it. Alliteratively you could get it of MO for $180 free delivery.
Cheers

Thanks B,
I am so indecisive which rod to buy now. A friend that used to works in Tackle shop highly recommended Pflueger asaro, then the Fishing WA rod. Without trying out the samaki zing, i really dont know how it perform compare to them. So i still cant make up my mind.

I prefer rod that is not too soft at the tip, they call it noodle...something something... if i'm not wrong. Is the tip of Samaki Zing 1-3kg quite solid and noodle-ly?

i have an asaro 1-3kg and wouldnt call it a noodle rod although ultralight
i also have a medalist dropshot 2-4 and its quite ballsy for the light light rating
its thicker up from the top grip than my other 2-4kg rods
these are fast type taper rods i guess.im not sure of graphite cntent probably more than trion
the medalist has fuji silicone guides the asaro may also have silicone guides
for very light hardbodys i use the asaro and light softplastics i use the medalist
every time ive seen one of these rods for sale on this forum ive tried to buy it

i have spare for mates
i also have starlo tournament and rate it with the pfluegers i have
gave a berkley dropshot away to my dad for his first graphite rod.i didnt rate it with my pfluegers although similar in cost to them from this forum.

sorry i havent tried a zing,my missus loves the camo look but

There are plenty of blokes on this forum that have 1-3kg zings, im sure they will let you know if it is a noodle or not. I have the 4-8lb zing and its definitely no noodle, actually after using my 1-2kg vapor and switching over to the zing it feels like a 3-7kg rod! very big and ballsy compared to my finesse style vapor. Great rods though!
