I ended up getting a NS amped Slow Pitch. Feels great in the hand. Should be good for my slow jigs. Loads nicely but has a lot of power down low.
-
Hey guys, I have found myself jigging a fair bit recently, and on the last trip managed to break my pe 1-3 gomoku on a sizeable reef fish (at the grip). I am looking for your guy's opinion on what you would recommend for around $400, hopefully spinning and a PE 4. I was looking at maybe the new Freams LT 5000 and a Major Craft Crostage PE 4 or should I spend more on the reel like a Biomaster 5000 and Gomoku PE2-4?
-
If you can find a special on a Samurai Ledge I'd recommend that. Another solid rod is the Majorcraft Crostage 'shorejigging' rods. As for reels I'd go a Stradic if you could stretch the budget but the new Sedonas are a sick reel. Super smooth. I use it as my heavier reel as I don't fish heavy often.
-
I ended up with a 13 certate 2004... spent a little bit extra, though it should last for a long while. I balanced better than a stradic fk 1000 and luvias 2004 which seemed odd considering it weighs 225g. Awesome little reel.
-
I actually got it at a really good price. It is a Megabass Shoreluck SLL-68ULS Limited, beautiful rod. Well above its rating though. Handled a solid ep in structure as its first fish.
-
Thanks for all the replies again, the only reason I requested recommendations on a lightweight reel is because it is going on an ultralight (1-3lb) rod with torzite guides and a skeleton seat. It is super unbalanced if the reel is any heavier than 180g.
-
I don't personally have these reels but I have used both. I'd have to say the certate felt better. A bit smoother under load. Maybe due to the metal body. Handled big jew no probs.
-
I haven't Played with this model but I have used the popping rod and It feels pretty awesome. If it is anything close it should be worth a go!
-
Thanks for the replies. I can get a luvias from jp for around 300. I have the Caldia Z, freams and stradic FK. They make the rod super butt heavy. The Stradic Ci4+ may be a shout for $219 though.
-
The Samurai Kestrels are nice pieces of kit if you can afford them. If they're a bit pricey (which they can be at $500) I'd look into the Arrowz Offshore rods, the 25lb rod would suit your described scenario perfectly.

Hey guys, I am looking into getting a new reel on my new 1-3lb Ultralight Bream rod. I was thinking Luvias 1003 or the new Stradic FB (please don't make this another S vs D thread) but am unsure. My budget is around $300 (+/- $50). I am open to overseas option and would prefer the reel to be suitable light (approx. 170g). Hope this narrows it down. Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

I ended up going with a Megabass Racing Condition Oz
-
I am thinking of going a lox, was looking at the the Ambassador 610L, would this be ok for like sammys? I can use the heavier stuff on my alphas and T3 air. Also what is the opinion on the megabass racing conditions world rods
-
I'll be using anything from a 1/24th oz weighted plastic all the way up to a 9gm bassday bustle I am looking at the TD Commander Armouraider, it is perfectly specked and light. Just wondering whrere is the joint for a 1.5pce?
-
I don't need to spend this, the Sol won't come till November, things get discounted all the time. Some of the TD commanders are just under 400 now
-
Hey guys, still looking for a rod. My budget has expanded to $500, it is still gonna be for bass and is gonna be matched to the new TD Sol 3 2000. I want the rod to be lightweight with a decent line rating, preferably 2pc too. I was looking at the new Samurai Reactions in the 7' 4-10lb 2pc.
-
Hey guys I'm looking for your advice on a combo for around $350 mark, the rod needs to be a 2-4KG and the reel needs to be as light in weight as possible, Thanks in advance Niffa
-
Yeah was looking at the Generation Black 2-6kg 6'10" to suit a Quantum Smoke 10PTi
-
Hey guys looking to a New combo with a really light reel and a really light rod, it needs to be a 2-4kg rod, thankful for your help, Ronan
-
Hey guys I've got my heart set on getting a Quantum reel in the 10, 15 or 25 sizes, the only thing is I can't decide: Smoke PTi or Exo PTi!
-
Hey guys got my heart set on getting a quantum, don't know if I want and exo or smoke, which one is better?
-
can you link it Bluefin, also have you used the pflueger patriarch, its only 157grams for the 2500 size (9525X)
-
ok cheers because I have used the stradic ci4 original version (not the ci4+) and have wresled out a mid 40's fish from a pile of logs
-
I did catch a shrimp on a blade before
-
I would recommend Fins 40G, its breaking strain is its average breaking strain for 85lb is 98lbs.
