All around rod help

riverkid · #1 19-10-2012, 05:11 AM

So ive decided to go with this
Daiwa ballistic 2500 reel
8lbs sunline braid
6lbs sunline leader

But unsure of rod
Want it to be graphite and under $100 but want a strong and light rod
around 6,6 mark and for all round i think 2-5kgs would be ok

Williamson ultra light bream, picked up one today and they seem awesome for the $80 price tag

No thanks
any other rod?
what should i get?

topwater · #7 19-10-2012, 06:50 AM

for $100?
there is one allrounder that comes to mind
my brother got a pflueger trion 1-3kg, which is awesome value for money!
its 6'10 and intermediate taper so its not too whippy + not too stiff, good for getting some distance casts with hardbodies etc

however if your mainly using soft plastics you may want a faster taper rod

can i ask why you want to use a lighter leader than your braid?

and thats what i got told to use

all good mate,
Go a pfluger Trion 1-3kg or 2-4kg, I have a 1-3kg and they are a great little rod can't go wrong with them for the price.

chasenash · #10 19-10-2012, 04:36 PM

As stated a trion or even a samaki skitch.

Could we just make this law that if anyone in the future asks what rod for about $100...

The answer should be known 'Pflueger Trion'...

Lets never ask this question again and make this post a sticky.

In the other thread he started, it was suggested that 6lb braid would be adequate for the fishing he was doing, but due to Sunline Super PE 6lb suffering from a wind knot problem for some users, that the 8lb Super PE would be the better choice..

Rod under $100...

7ft Wilson LCS in 2-8lb (1-4KG) 2 piece.. I have one of these and love it.. Available from B. C. F. for $80.00 if you are a club member.. (I'll PM you the link..)

Again, Pfleuger Trion 1-3 KG...

Mark.

Just remember a 2500 Dawia is quite big compared to a normal sized 2500, I would go a 2000 personally, and match it up with a 1-3kg trion.

riverkid · #14 20-10-2012, 08:21 AM

But will the 2000 still be able to bring in big fish and hold 8lbs braid?

Puggy · #15 20-10-2012, 10:12 AM

Anything you will catch on a 2500 you can catch on a 2000. If you are getting Super PE, then don't even worry about diameter, its super thin for the rating. What are you planning on targeting?
