Kirks Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) Hey guys I have loaded up my saltist 50 with 65lb braid (thanks gofish) but now I need a rod for it, it will be used offshore chasing kings as well as chasing cobes, jews and other heavy weight species. I have had a look at the Monster Mesh rods and they seem great for what I am doing. What are your thoughts. I would also like to know if your tackle store have these rods and what the prices are, you can tell me this by pm. thanks a lot Steve Kirkby Edited July 6, 2008 by Kirkby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Pasha Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 As you mentioned a Monster Mesh or maybe a Daiwa Saltist 56B also Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Depends what you want to do with it Kirkby. I've got a Saltist 40. I use a Saltist 10-15kg stick (7') when I know I'm not going to be using my downrigger. The extra length is good to steer fish around my motor. When I'm using the downrigger I've been putting it on a T-Curve jig rod (a 24-37kg one last summer which is overkill... just got a lighter one). I find the shorter rod much easier to use with the downrigger.... I can reach the rod tip without taking it out of the rod holder when rigging up etc. The short length makes maneuvering around the motor a bit 'entertaining' at times. Both rods are great. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
