ok cool got a price from midas on a medium heavy rod and 6 ball  bearing real combo for R600.00 so think i will get it this week end

 

[Brushhog]

Yeah it'll defnitly be worth it!!!The rod wich you speak of is it the 2 pce Elbe 7ft MH rod??because i have seen those on combo's with the loomis reels,i must say,its a lovely combo!

 

[bandit365]

no i just spoke to guy on the phone he said it a blue crystal rod or something to that effect, will first check it out before i buy it want to make sure i get a nice stiff rod

I would rather just go for the 9 Bearing reel.

My friend got one last week from the fishing specialist. He is new to baitcasters and when he fishes with my curado i have to replace the line at the end of the day.

We fished Mofam this weekend he was on another boat and was joking about the casting distance rule with him. I dont know how far he was from me but I tried to hit his boat with my texas rigged senko and fell way short.

He casted his spro frog a good 5 Meters past my boat. with zero overwind. Wow....impressive little baitcater.

[bblunt]

Where can you get them in KZN. Need Xmas present for my 12 year old.

 

[CarloT]

Guys will be loading all loomis and elbe bass and general freshwater tackle on my site, sorry i missed this topic back then cause i had the reels in stock.

 

[sustan]

can you post a link to your site or its name or something??

 

[Vaalboy101]

Are any of these reels still in service? I heard that the 9bb one was problematic but the 6bb was great. Any more good/bad feedback?

 

[sundance]

I bought two of the 9bb reels - they did not last two outings and got sticky - lost a fish in the C4C on one of them - seized up. The agents were not interested in repairing/swapping them and they dont have spares. They are totally crap - DONT BUY THEM

 

[Vaalboy101]

Thanks for the feedback - I will look around for something else.
