Shimano Rods

[muscle_17]

Hi,

im thinking about upgrading my $20 fibreglass rod with something like a Shimano, Stradic, Stella or squidgy rod to suit my Okuma Inspira 20 bit better.

I prefer to have cork grips, cause they look more professional

i will be using it for plastic spinning for bream, flathead, tailor around parramatta river.

And might use it for the occasional bait fishing.

I have no idea about graphite rods, so i would like you guys to help me choose a rod and why

Thanks Alot

Cork is a good choice. It not only looks good, but helps transfer every bump and movement of the line and lure through the water.

Mate, there is a huge range of rods on the market that suits what you want to use it for. I would suggest just going to the various shops and feeling them up. Take your reel with you so you can get a feel for which one seems balanced.
