sold ultralight spinning gear wanted

[kevinchen19870316]

:blush: i am convinced so now i am in search of an ultralight spinning combo. Being still undecided if i will get an extremely high end combo or just settle down with budget stuff, i am interested in all sorts of offerings. any ultralight rods and 1000-2000 size spinning reels will be considered. prefer cheap stuff at the moment if they r used as my megabass baitcasting rod's now in the schedule:laugh:

custom building offerings welcomed as well:P

finally !!! haha kev .. get olympic rods .. cost around 200 at most.

[fishyman]

for a reel:

Shimano Twinpower 1000,(i do believe there was a newtwin power was launched a little while ago in japan, i think is call twinpower cs) that shouldnt cost you too much

rod i wouldnt have a clue

[kevinchen19870316]

old tp is a good option but if i am serious about spinning tackle, i'd have got a custom certate or aegis/presso

[fishyman]

well if budget is more you style (shock horror) in my opinion my shimano stradic 1000FI is awesome, cost me about 200 at (the late ) takleworld underwood

[username_taken]

Get a 1500 Sedona with one of the $80-$100 rod range ( sicstik, starlo stix, etc ). Will give you a pretty good system to start with. My big barra on the weekend was caught on my 2500 Sedona and sicstick, combo cost me about $160, plus I got a free cheapo shimano graphite rod with the reel.

Or you could get a $25 pink combo ?

[atolo4]

I think Stradic 1000 $200.00 and pflueger trion $119.00 or if you can a Loomis Dropshot.

with the aussie dollar being so strong, you can pick up a stradic delivered from US for $150 AU

or Team Daiwa Advantage 2000 for $150 AU delivered.

[Cowfish13]

atolo4: where can you get those cheap reels?

Kevin: I'd go for something like a Shimano Stradic (2500) or Daiwa Tierra (2000) then I'd match it with a Shimano Raider, Berkley Dropshot or a Pfluegar Trion rod. Then some 6lb braid or gsp and you'll be sweet.

It shouldn't cost too much (comparatively) and will be great for Bream. And with the bigger reel, you'll be able to land bigger fish like Cod and Trevally as well:cheer:

[jeff f]

sure catch micro light special

mitchell avocet /500

whole setup under $100

[gummybusta]

one that i have for a bit of fun is nice and chaep as is most of my gear

i run a 1000 penn appluse one a 1-3kg berkly dropshot rod

ya would be able to pick the whole thing up includeing line for around $200

[Leighton]

After going toe to toe with a Golden Trev I cant speak highly enough for my Shimano Raider rod 2 -4 kg and 1000 Sahara. If you want to spend more money an Egrell S1 and a Certate 1500

[brisbane_boy]

[bretto]

Link: '>basspro

[STU]

:woohoo: Oh how things change:P

[Cando]

mate you what a budget reel that works.. Sienna 1000,, good enough for a 74 cm barra at the barra park .. give drag the a service straight away.. they are a great cheap reel... will hold any bream on lite line.. $50 reel

Well thats my 2c

[Feral]

Kevin,

The live fibre light Wilson Rod I won, at the AFO Lure / Bait Hinze comp last year, is a bewdy! I use a little 50 series reel on it quite happily. You dont want to catch to many fish on such light gear though, I got "tennis elbow" from it when we caught 140 bass in 3 days at Lenthalls last winter, elbow still gives me trouble!

[MichaelJ]

my plfuegar trion rod and reel are great caught me the big barra yesterday and rod and reel only cost round $170 or so i think

[faulked]

what can i say mate 25bucks the only rod to catchanything yesterday for us [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/P1010180_AFO.jpg

[kevinchen19870316]

thanks so much for the input guys. it seems i have a very very wide range of choices.

faulked, i kept laughing when i saw that pic, it's just awesome. do u mind if i use that as my screen saver? that won't save my screen but it will save me heaps of $$.

i will probably get a sedonna and a ULTRALIGHT something rod.

[Dan23]

I think a Tierra 1000 and a berkley Dropshot 1-3kg and 2-4lb braid is a great setup that will cast unweighted plastics a mile. You won't be disappointed when the big fish aren't biting and you can play with medium and smaller fish that still provide good sport.

Oh, and for anyone wondering why Kev is wanting an ultralite setup... It's cause I always outfish him when using lite spinning gear lol:laugh:

Hopefully we can visit my parent's place in the next few weeks and I'll get Dad to lend you his 2lb dropshot-sedona rig. Really is great to use and even 25cm bream feel massive. Plus you can catch fish on it all day long because it is so finesse.

[fishyman]

man i wanna fish where you fish dan brunswick sounds awesome. sounds like its time to plan a road trip with my dad

know what u mean mate.... go lite it's great... sad i know but i ten to throw my 2-6 lb at jacks... yep yep mad i know ..... but fun :ohmy: :laugh: :laugh:

[chubbstar]

Kev, I doubt that you will, but I couldn't be happier with my Lite rod. It's a UglyStik "Graph Lite" 2-5kg 7'0". It's pulled in a nice 40cm Jack, 45cm Snapper, some big Catties and good Bream. Only cost me around $100. Money well spent.

Good luck with the many, many choices:blink:

Ha ha, I don't think you'll ever convince him to buy something with a glass tip

[fishyman]

i am suprised he is buying something thats not megabass or limited edition or some sort of special 26 ball bearing thing HAHA just kidding lol.

you be able to cast unweighted plastics now kev

for the recod:

My 2-4lb (1-2kg) rod (Slater Stick) matched with my stradic 1000 makes small bream feel big and makes big bream the best fight youve had in ages

certate is good .. wanted to get one , still saving up

[Dan23]

I don't think you could deal with any of the shimano reels though kev. They are great but all have backplay and it would probably drive you nuts.

[pinkey]

My Tierra 1500 and 2-4kg 7'5&1/2 Raider bream finesse fitted with 2lb stren microfuse made that 51cm barra feel like a marlin.

[brisbane_boy]

that was probly the 2lb stren microfuse tim:P

[pinkey]

No one asked you duncan.

dont get a sedona with all the other reels around the same $$ on the market, pflueger trion is great at $79 as well as daiwa regal with 10 ball bearings etc etc... i find that for quality the pflueger easily outdoes the sedona and daiwa regal is right up there with the pflueger

[reef_raider]

also daiwa liberty is good for $80

[Dan23]

Kev, if you buy the reel you can use my Procaster X 4-6lb until you get a rod. It's got big guides so you can still use 20lb leader lol:laugh:

the old models did, but now with the wind in handles there is no backplay whatsoever
