Hello guys !

I fish plastics from shore and I prefer bright colours as it's easier to tell when you're jigs on the bottom and detecting small bites. And it's my understanding that multicolour is for offshore depth check and also it only seems to be available in 20lb and up which limits it's shore uses.

Multicolor braid is available from 0.6PE 13lb

yeaah guys. I will choose fluo yellow braid  from the shore then. Thank you for help guys !  

If I understand you correct. So in general fluo yellow better from the shore and multicolor from the boat, right ?

I mainly use metal jigs from the shore and soft baits.

Hello everyone !

I`m doubting between 2 colors of a braid Duel Hardcore x8. Fluo yellow or multicolor.  Do you guys really think that multicolor is so worth of using it ? I fish from the shore. Isn`t multicolor better for fishing from the boat ? What do you think about it ? Mb some of you used multicolor and can say a word if it is so helpful or not.

of course this rod is amazing for soft baits! When im not shore jigging im often throwing big 6-8inch Soft baits with jigheads targeting jewfish in the rivers/ beaches and off the break wall. It handles amazingly! lots of power and great action for the soft baits. I am using a Saltiga BJ 4000SH with pe3 and its a perfect combo

thx too !! 

Now 100% sure that this one is for me. 

of course out of stock xD I have to wait ;p

Hi kAs-09,  i have actually used both rods and im currently using the Palms Shoregun SFSGS-993SS, There is a difference of weight between both rods, the dry carbon on the shoregun definitely feels much better in the hand and also the action on the shoregun is much softer and smoother compared to the majorcraft which is why i guess the shoregun is 80 euros more expensive.

ok nice.  good to know that ! thx   I`d love to ask you an additional question about this rod. Is this rod fine for using soft baits with jigheads or dropshot  ? I`m asking because today hit my head an idea that mb other models of shoregun for twitching would be better for these methods I` ve just mentioned above... and which reel are you using with SFSGS-993SS ? Do you enjoy this rod?  No more questions from me ! ;P

I'm not sure if they are the same models. Maybe these are made for Japanese market . In my opinion BG 3500 is too heavy for the rod you want to buy. 100 g difference might not seem like a big difference but you will feel it after a couple hours of jigging.

BG 3000 is available from Fishraider sponsor Dinga:

If shipping from Australia to Norway is too expensive, check ebay or a shop.

 

Yeah that is right.  Thx mate !  The price is lower from 100 to 72$ ! on Ebay now lol. That is the sign !

I use the same reel Daiwa BG 3000 spooled with PE 2.0 braid. BG 3000 is a good value for money. With my setup I can cast 40g jigs 70-80m without too much effort.

lol what a lucky shot  Even you are using the reel I want to buy  nice I was looking at digitaka shop. There are Daiwa BG reels but there is no 3000 in the offer. Is this a different model ? They look similar...

SFSGS-103H+ is a bit longer which helps when you fish off the rocks. It's also more responsive. It's very difficult to explain it. It's like buying a new car. Both a BMW and a Kia will get you from point A to point B but which one would you buy if you have enough money?

hahahaha  KIA   So you mean PALMs rods are just better. I want to have a better stuff. ok im choosing BMW !  

I have read a lot of good opinions about Daiwa BG SW 3000 Reel like good quality for a good price. or mb Palms rod quality is too high for this reel... you know like with computers. Why should I buy a very powerful graphic card when the processor is very weak... t_T;

@kAs-09 . Hi, and welcome to member. I am from Finland, but fishing often in Norway years a go. If you shorefishing,  both chouse looks good. My opinion, that do not pay extra, take cheaper of this rods. Both is long enough, for loooong cast's.

 

But where you plan fishing, how deep shores and hof strong underwater flows? , how often and how much you have experience torsk and maccerel fishing?

I just wonder, that if you want looong casts, have to think right type line allso. I have 2 shorefishing rod. Other is 3m long for 20-40g lure.

Other is about 270cm for 100-200g lure, and same rod other top piece is for 150-300g lure. That i use from boat fishing allso, for deeper water.

One of the main place I fish, the depth is around 20 meters with lots of mackerels.  Currents are not so strong but you can stil feel it. As I mentioned I use there jigs 30-40g. You know... I don`t go fishing everyday but I still try to be at the water around twice per week

About the long casts... For me it is always better to have possibility to have long casts. This is a place where I stand on the bridge which is right above the water (0,5m). There are a lot of anglers so of course it is better to cast in the places where other anglers cannot reach  Sometimes the water is boiling in places a bit further and I have no clue what is there under the water ! I have to catch it !  I think about this the whole winter...  so yes. long casts are welcomed

@xerotao I don`t have these rods here. The only way is to order them from another country.... :/

@Berleyguts This MajorCraft is in 2 pieces. Palm Shoregun and Majorcraft are japanese brands. MC is well known as the best price/quality and Palm quality. It is mainly shore jigging.  This can interest you http://www.palms.co.jp/en/blog/

@EnOz43 would you write a word why you prefer Palm then MC ?  SFSGS-103H+ and Evolution KGS-962MH are quite similar it is actually a very nice example to say a bit about the differences you feel between them 

@Short  yes but the question is. Is it worth paying twice more for Palm... If Palm and MC would cost the same I would take Palm of course

Hello everyone ! I`m writing here because my head is really exploding right now  I hope guys you can help me  

The spring is coming and I`m buying a new rod. Can you help me with a choice ? I am very between two shore jigging rods.

1. MajorCraft New Crostage Shore Jigging Series CRX-942SSJ - about 100 Euro

2. Palms ShoreGun Evolv SFSGS-992 SS - about 180 Euro

What do you think about it ? I read a lot about that MC is the best quality/price. Do you think it is worth to pay twice more for a shoregun ? (I`m ready to pay more too)

P.S. I hunt cods (not so big.. ;P)  and mackerels 30g-40g jigs. With mackerels I prefer sport fishing without any fishing rigs. Just one by one to have fun and play with them

Is there Anyone with experience with these rods ? 

Best regards
