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?
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
I don't personally have these reels but I have used both. I'd have to say the certate felt better. A bit smoother under load. Maybe due to the metal body. Handled big jew no probs.

I haven't Played with this model but I have used the popping rod and It feels pretty awesome. If it is anything close it should be worth a go!
-
Thanks for the replies. I can get a luvias from jp for around 300. I have the Caldia Z, freams and stradic FK. They make the rod super butt heavy. The Stradic Ci4+ may be a shout for $219 though.
-
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.

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.

I ended up going with a Megabass Racing Condition Oz

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
-
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
-
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.

Hey guys I'm looking for your advice on a combo for around $350 mark, the rod needs to be a 2-4KG and the reel needs to be as light in weight as possible, Thanks in advance

Hey guys I've got my heart set on getting a Quantum reel in the 10, 15 or 25 sizes, the only thing is I can't decide: Smoke PTi or Exo PTi!
-
Hey guys got my heart set on getting a quantum, don't know if I want and exo or smoke, which one is better?
-

-

I ended up getting a NS amped Slow Pitch. Feels great in the hand. Should be good for my slow jigs. Loads nicely but has a lot of power down low.
