rod and reel

[MUSSEL_CRACKER]

hello

i would like some advise on what rod and reel to buy, have about R2500 to spend, will mainly be targeting edibles.

I do not know the prices now, but a good match is  an assassin beachmasterand shimano toruim --

HI MUSSEL_CRACKER,



Please update your location

One or two questions:

Are you thinking of getting a spinning reel or multiplier?

Where do you intend to do most of your fishing?

Like Strandloper said...update your details, also tell us if you are a beginner ect... It's kind of difficult assisting you at this stage.

Or what about the beachmaster rather with a Saltist 40 or 50 ... :dude: ... ... ...:op: Just kidding, Shimano vs Daiwa, it's down to personal choice. They're much of a muchness but you won't go wrong with the beachmaster.

go check out this month stywe lyne / tight lines, a lot of chistmas special.

mias / ganis is having a combo special shimano exage ( incl 3 tips ) / daiwa saltist 50 for +/- R 2,500.

i think thats a good deal as the reel brand new is about R 1,600.

I will go for a L+F Shockwave combined with a Grandwave 50

Darren, Zimbi has the Exage 4 -6 oz with a Torium 30(if I remember right), good combo that, have a couple of thows with it and then take it from there.

if you gonna go for a HMG rod, for that money you will only buy a rod.


Oh jeez just realised that this mussel cracker in not THEE mussel cracker.............we have an imposter

Morning SKROPS time to wipe the shyt out your eyes

 

[skrops]

LOL, had too many brandy's last night..............celebrating Definitions Kob.

 

[Richard Ohagan]

I was also confused there for a while, was wondering how Darren managed to wipe

all his posts and start from 1 again, HaHa

I would also recamend the beach master, but go for the Bronze series, same blank but better guides (Fuji) I think.

Agree...... Or get the Shokwave 3-4Oz combined with a SL30... best combo for eds. Will set you back around R1600

 

[MUSSEL_CRACKER]

Thanks for all the feedback, iam a beginner, sorry bout username. When i started fishing in april all i heard everyone speaking about was catching a mussel cracker and thats how i chose my username. Iam very new to fishing, i currently have a coffeegrinder and a little cheap rod. was thinking of getting the exage rod and a saltist. will mostly be catching at false bay and hopefully hook up with some of the sealiners to learn more.

 

[WalkersKiller]

Hope you catch lots of fish and you learn alot on this forum... I would go with a Saltist/Kingfisher Stimulator or Penn Powerstick 14" very good rods that have caught alot of good edibles!

 

[MUSSEL_CRACKER]

Iam thinking of getting the exage 1468 with a torium 20. what do you guys think?

 

[camo shorts]

Very good combination, maybe get the Torium30 as it's the same price, just a wider spool.

good combo, still a mite heavy for eds though, why not check out the 1446?

Very good choice I would say.
I bought myself that combo today at fishing specialist for R2500.
I just took the Torium 30. As they say it has a bigger spool and is the same price.
Torium R1425
Exage R1075
Can not wait to get to the water :fishn
