rod for branzino

[tobythehobie]

Just purchased myself a branzino 3000 and am looking for a stick to put it on, i have read the event jew thread but am looking for something that would match this reel perfectly, has seen that G has his on a power junkie so thats an option.

Am using mostly for jews but will also be on the reds

I have mine matched to a
Heartland 702MLRS-AGS14

Won't get much better unless you go custom really.

Just curious what are you thoughts of using the reel for light jigging for Kingie?

Ive muscled kings to 15kg on mine in shallow water i have confidence in this reel working over even bigger fish to be honest. I havent got the chance but it would do the job no problem on jelly bean yellowfin and alike.

I have mine linked up to a samurai 402 which does well together.

Could look at something like a 10-20lb or the 12-20lb dobyns champion. 7 ft the 12-20lb cast up to 40 grams so can throw bigger top waters and vibes if you like. I regularly throw 1 oz storm vibes on mine that I have matched up with a 3000 certate. Should be able to knock over any jew you come across with it. And would be great for turning a big snapper away from structure. IMO definetly worth considering.
