Guest Jocool Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Depends a lot on what type of fishing you like doing Philip. And also what your budget will be. If you want just a little flick stick for lure fishing, then all you will need is something about 6-7 foot with a 1000-2000 sized reel. You should be able to pick up an OK outfit for about $100. Won't be too flash, but should last if looked after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_the_fisher Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Thanks Jocool, Have you seen any of the pflueger reels i was thinking of getting trion or medalist spinning reel with a 1.80 metre ugly stick, But we're going down to the bass angler in penrith on sunday morning for a look then of to fish at the lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jocool Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Flueger make a top little reel. They also make some great rods in the Trion range. I'm not sure of their pricing, and I don't know if ABA stocks them. As far as the rod goes, the Ugly Stik may be a tad heavy and slow as it is a fiberglass rod. Have a look at the Daiwa Procasters, Shimano Raider series, or even a Berkley Dropshot. ABA stocks all of these, and they are great rods with a medium graphite content. Light enough to use for long periods, and not too soft that you can't turn a decent fish if needed. I'm sure Mick will look after you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landlubber Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 G'day Philip, RE Reels, if you like OKUMA Ebay has some great resellers in Singapore / Malaysia, I have managed to pick up a couple of brand new Okuma reels for about half the normal Sydney tackle shop prices......then all you need to do is pck up a rod to suit.
