Baber stokke vir Artlure

Naansê mense.

Ek is opsoek na twee stokke wat ek eksklusief wil gebruik as ek die babers target met kunsaas.

Die eerste stok wat ek soek moet babers van 'n paar gram tot so 20 kilo's sê kan handle en die tweede stok wat ek in die Oranje wil gebruik sal babers van 20 kilo's op moet kan handle.

Het iemand vir my asb voorstelle? Ek hou baie van die Ugly sticks maar weet nie of hulle lures sal kan gooi nie.

Wat dink julle van die Shakespeare Two-Piece Medium Action Ugly Stik Tiger Spinning Rod, 7-Feet vir die kleiner babers.

&

Shakespeare Two-Piece Medium Heavy Action Ugly Cat Spincating 7-Feet vir die groter babers

&/of die

Shakespeare Two-Piece Ugly Stik Bigwater Spinning Rod of Shakespeare Two-Piece Heavy Action Ugly Stik Lite Salmon/Steelhead Spinning Rod (8-Feet 6-Inch) vir die groot monsters?

En ek neem aan ek sal nie verkeerd gaan met die Shimano Calcuta reeks katrolle nie.

hey Skuimkop,

I use the salmon steelhead 902xxh and 861 xh(which you refer to) for lures.
Both spinning models.

To be honest its not a berley air and is not for finesse fishing but PERFECT for barbel.

All the guys in the states swear by them for targetting monster blue catfish on lures(50 -100 pounds).

I also have the ugly stik tiger 7ft mh which is a Brute of a rod (6-8) ounce lures. BUT i use this with a penn jigmaster off the boat or for big whole carp baits,its too stiff for lures unless you going to cast a monster jighead or something.

I also have a 6ft med action ugly rod,lots of fun for targetting the smaller(3-7kg) guys. Its the same one in the youtube clip

I use 4000 stradic's on the rods with 14 pound fireline and a 20 lb leader (or heavier if need be)




Hope this helps

Calcutta reels on this rod are awesome,Going to get myself one soon.

Thanx Antjar. Ja the Ugly sticks do have a soft spot in my heart and thats why I'm looking at them.

Mmmmm, think my mind is made up.

Where did you get yours and what did you pay for them?

Western Accesories in Boksburg,Paid R300 each,Tiger was i think R400.

Give them a call they always have stock and you could probably have them delivered to you.

I know somebody also mentioned Ganis in Witbank has stock,dont know about the price.

My stiks will be in action over the weekend at the vaal river,I will post some pics and a report next week.

I have a fenwick hmg,much better feel then the ugly stik.

Its like a nice BMW where the ugly stik is landcruiser
70 .

Im sure Ryan will also give you some good ideas,I have used a lot of his advice.

Good Luck Anthony

The ugly stik is unbreakable - it has a fiberglass tip.
It is also top heavy which means it is easier for casting and I have to confess I like a "PAP tip"....
Value for money they are really hard to beat - I have one that is 32 years old and still going strong....
I have a 10ft extra heavy ugly stick which I am quite fond of...
Coffee Grinders = Ugly stik

I like a rod that has plenty of backbone Shimano make a crucial 7'6 extra heavy this is a highly sensitive rod but it has proper backbone I use a trini 14 on here or calcutta.
I would choose this over any other outfit for barbel in a baitcaster configiration but they are double the price.

Please remember donot use a Baitcaster reel on a Spinning rod - there will be explosive repercussions if you do...

Hi Ryan, hows that crucial 7,6 H outfit for tigerfish?
