flats rod

Hi all,

So i am currently looking around for a rod i can use for casting hardbodies on the flats for bream. I was thinking something around the 7 foot range and under $200. I was looking at the atomic arrowz bream crank which looks alright, anyone have any experience with these. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou all,

Daniel Ogden

I have Daiwa generation black - 7' 1-2kg and it's fantastic for flats fishing. I think it (and others in higher capacity ranges) can be found for $150 though is being cleared out.

 

In all honesty, I'd go any 7' rod with the following:

* High modulus blanks - whippy tip is important!

* Anything between upto a bream rod (2-4kg). 

* Short butt handle 

Saying all the above, the Shimano raider bream finesse 1-4kg is a nice rod for about $100 on sale at a boating store that sells fishing and camping gear, though doesn't cast as far as my 1-2kg which is more suited to the tiny hardbodies I cast.

 

Save some money for the lures and quality thin braid that makes it all work!
