queensland Roller Guides Or Not?

[ggg]

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing well in these uncertain times and are able to wet a line. I have recently restored a Shimano TLD 25 and am needing a rod for it. I have always wanted a rod with roller guides and am more than happy to do the required maintenance. The rod will mostly be used for bottom bashing out in the Cairns reefs, some mackerel trolling and a little bit of land- based game fishing. I have found a few Shimano T- Curve Tiagra's at an excellent price. They are fully rollered rods and in great nick. Has anyone used roller rods for bottom bashing and is it worth it? I have many rods so won't be holding it all day so weight doesn't bother me. The reel has 50lb braid and 50m of 15kg mono as a topshot.

Thanks for your help and tight lines.

Hi Jaz44

There will be someone with more knowledge on me with this, but if you are OK with the maintenance I think it would be a goer. As far as I know, they are made to help with game fishing.
