New Rod


Rebel

Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody,

I just bought a Dawia demon blood 962mh 9'6" rod. They are on special this weekend. I am going to use it for lures only off the beach.

I have four reels to choose from.

Fin-nor Lethal 100

Shimano c14 6000 Thunnus.

Shimano c14 Ultegra 14000

Pflueger  080sm salt ( bit heavy).

All new reels,  so I won't be buying anymore at the moment.  Any suggestions which one will I use.

 I am not into  braid I only use mono line. I am from the old school.

Cheers.

Do you plan chasing jewfish?

I believe a 6 or 8000 size shimano would be ample for lures off the beach.

I do a lot of tailor and salmon spinning off the beach, with braid however and a 5000 size shimano is more than big enough.

Best thing would be to take your rod down to your tackle shop and try a few reels to see what feels comfortable.

HI,

I chase anything that lands on the hook. I think I will try the Lethal 100 for starters. I have a 10ft  Abu Garcia Veritas 3.0 with a Lethal 80 on it and it casts a country mile. The Demon weighs nothing so the 100 should be ok.

Thanks for the advice every one.

Cheers.
