new rods needed but don't know much about these?
In need of 2 new rods, so I was scouting about the net, when I stumbled across this S.A seller.
I like buying gear from different unknown manufacturers (by Aussie standards) apart from the main stream, as long as its good quality.
Most of these rods have high spec componenets ie Toray Carbon blanks, IM 6, IM 7, IM 12 blanks (never heard of IM12) and Fuji guides and seats etc.
They sell European rods, I have heard of DAM, but the others no Idea, I did a quick google but there is so much B.S out there, who do you believe?
Does anyone know of the other brands, made in Germany, France and I think Spain ie BALZER, COLMIC, BARBETTA, SAKURA, SPORTEX, HERAKLES, CARSON etc
Our European/English members may be able to help?
One rod needs to be for surf fishing but have a light enough tip for King George Whiting but big enough if a 5kg snapper or gummy (gummies run out of puff quickly) comes across my bait, not worried if its a Telescopic (easier to walk with)
The other will be for boat fishing anything from 100kg sharks to large kingies or mulloway not interested in Blue fin Tuna (not that nice to eat unless smoked)
Here is the site - High quality Australian premium fishing and terminal tackle
Surf rod budget starts at Page 4>, boat rod page 3>.
The main thing with the surf rod is it can cast up to a 4oz sinker and be long/high enough to keep my line above the onshore breakers ie the breaking waves don't keep catching my line, but the tip sensitive enough to detect those finicky whiting.
Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with Ugly sticks,(good value) shimano T curves or Diawa black generation rods but like I said i want to try something new and different, these rods seem well priced. Compared to what we are use to.
