Howzit guys.

i am looking at a new light tackle setup as mine got stolen out of a mate of mines drive way! f%$e^&$%$ B@$t@rds$

I dont want to spend more than R1500 but supose i could if i really had to.

 

I am looking for a 6'6 rod and a shimano 2500 reel i am going to fill it with 6lb fireline and i use it for hottie and roman chokka etc off the boat and spinning for elf in plett and just general estuary fishing and spinning and dropshot i am looking or a mh hopfully and was looking at a blue marlin (huricane i think) that has a t53 blank and look very good and also is nice and light.

for reels i was thinking abot mabe a spheros but have only seen a 3000 wich i think is a bit big

any help guys please?

Ive gota Sensation PAssion Stick Heavy/fast and a Shimano slade 4000 and kingfisher 12lb braid. Had this setup for about a year and landed many fish including +- 5kg leerie and 4.5kg kingfish and snapper. Great setup, plenty backbone, smooth drag.

Have you ever thought of using the Tica Range?

this reel and rod combo is fantastic, its a an 8ft rod and 3000 reel and it kicks butt! loaded with 8lb - 12lb braid it casts a mile and I have caught a 12kg king fish of the boat with it so there is stopping power in the butt section and smooth as silk drag.

I see you want a 6ft rod but I think you would be better with something a little longer as your casting will be a lot better for of the boat as well as having a bit more play on the rod tip for fighting bigger fish on lighter tackle close to the boat?

set up cost me R1100.

if you want some more details drop me a PM.

all three snapped just above the joint aparentley just a bad batch but after 3 i would rather not get one again but they are amazing rods and i really loved fishing with mine but ya that was most probably a k@K but im not going to take that chance again

so you basicly sorted with the reel? any thoughts on a rod yet? the exceller is a great rod with leke pull power. also l&f has a dropshot range

thinking of a blue marlin i think that it is called a 'huricane' it is built on a t53 blank and looks great or a shimano crucial or clarus but going to go to the tackle shops later this week and check out the rods
