Looking for a 9ft or 10ft dropshot rod to pair up with my daiwa 4000 eceller plus. was looking at maybe a loomis platinum? What do you guys think? Please any input will help.

Are the starlo stix available there - iv got the 9ft and its been serving me well .... good sensitive tip with a lot of power in the butt.

9 foot ugly stick with light tip is a good option!

 

[dbnpoizn$]

Havent heard of the ugly stick. Where is it available? What about the loomis?

 

[ZANAIDOR]

check out the Dropzone series at Kingfisher retails about R650, awesome rod , good combo with your Daiwa 4000

Regards

@ dbnpoizn$ - If you are still looking of an outfit, I would suggest you send a PM to JJ Pienaar, he sort you out in no time. Tell him your budget and he'll take it from there.

thanx for the reveral Serra

jip prity much the DropZone will sort u out it come's 8'-9'-9'6 and a 10' foot realy light and NOT over crowded with guid's wich cause resistance....

The 9' DropZone with your Exceller 4000e plus it make's probibly one on the best nd afordable outfits for dropshoting, spining with spoon's and small plug's even...

Ps.) my 9'dropzone i'l be geting next month cant wait.. He he he

Loomis Platinium looks good and excellent value for money. A friend of mine bought the 9ft heavy and his first fish on it was a 9kg Kob on a paddle tail off of the rocks. Now if it brought me the same luck I'd buy 1 a week LOL.

Hi Guys,

The Exceller is a great rod...BUT. the guides does give up after a while in salt water.

Buying a R900 rod with plastic guides, is not the best.

I have 2 Loomis Platinums 9 - Heavy and 9 Ext Heavy, the rod is excellent all round. At R450 each...can't complain.

My personal choice go for the Loomis.

Even with the 'plastic' guides my 902 doesn't show wear. Used fireline and braid without any problems in surf fishing for 2 years and now fresh water use. Still remains my favourite rod.
