  1. 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?

  2. 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. 

  3. 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.

    Seems like you are going all out. Buy the best and lightest you can afford!

    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. 

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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?

    there is no way I would take a $500 rod into some of the tiger country I fish for bass or cod  good luck..rick

    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

  11. 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.
