g'day plugga

pflueger trion's $79 bcf club special at the moment. 2-4 kg 7ft or 3-6kg 7ft. normally $129. not sure when the special ends, but thats the prices i found online today when i was looking for a 3-6kg or 4-8kg for myself

i dident like the jewels, get yourself a berkly dropshot 2-4kg had a squize at the newly released versions and they are a nice little rod

iv got an older model 6'10" one i cut the grip down and took some off the tip and i find it to be fantastic good for both hardbodys and plastics although i like throwing hardbods one that rod

obviously the pfluger trions are worth a mention and if you can stretch the 150 you can look around at the berkley and trion tournament models

are you after a soft tip rod or a solid tipped rod? iv got another 7' berkley dropshot thats had the grip modifyed might be willing to move it off if your interested

Cheers boy, im gonna have a look around. i might look at the berkley one;)

thx for ur input.

1-3kg is more of a Bream rod.

If your using lures or plastics that is.

cheers

PM Uncharted Tackle mate.

Of email them.

They are bringing in a lot of nice stuff form Japan.

Some of the second hand stuff is in mint condition and a fraction of the price.

For $150 I am sure they could set you up with a nice quality high end bream stick.

Cheers.

i'd go with the trion over dropshot.

but that's just personal, try both and feel the weights and and the feel of them and choose which you believe will be better.

if u can get a reel of a similar size to that of you while be using and put it on to test it.

hope it helps

I have a trion it is a good stick got a sol on it and i like it i had a dropshot and gave it to my son didnt have the same feel

haha yeah i know, but when i go up north I used it for small GT's, small Tusky and stuff, so abit of extra grunt helps:)

Have a feel of both the dropshot and the trion. I'm a big fan of both but usually reach for the berkley on the lighter end of things. I like the way it handles hardbody lures better than the trion. Keep in mind this is just my opinion though, go into the shop and test them out yourself

[Kenshin]

you would be surprised what you can tame on a 1-3kg my mrs has caught some powerfull fish on her 1-3kg daiwa infeet

but yes sound advice is to get yourself the reel you intend to use, get it spooled then take it with you when you are choosing your rod and see if it balances i always do this now when purchasing new rods i take the intended reel down with me

[Kenshin]

or you can go the other way and get the rod and take the rod with you to get the new reel

You Can't go past a trion for the price 1-3kg are great rods. Agree with other comments take your reel in and fit it to all the rods your interested in, makes a big difference. good luck Andrew (SouthEast Fishing Adventures)
