gretsch Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I second that.. they are good value. Other than that, you get stuck with the sloppy Pacific Composites which I find cumbersome. There are some nice Loomis Float Rods around too if you want to spend a bit of coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Alberto Keep it simple - if you have a fairly 'bendy' rod with a 2000 or 2500 reel on it, it'll suffice for blackie fishing in an estuary - especially if fishing from a boat. Later on, if you really take a shine to it, you can upgrade to a specialised blackie rod. Cheerio Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 That's a good one Stylo - forgot about that one! :) Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Snyder and Kilwell do a great 4126 as do Pacfic composite, they may be sloppy but that is the idea of a true blackie rod as i have them in all shapes and sizes! The Mag Bream is one of the best as an all rounder 11foot 4 inch great for light beach fishing as well for bream an whiting ATS make up a good one in low or high mount my modern favourite at the moment is a Snyder GP3145 also doubles as a great rock rod or for fishing closer to the entance of the harbour of the walls and rock ledges like Bottle and Glass, Watsons Bay, Lady Jane etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvillanova Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 thx for all the replies raiders, i decided on the live fibre, it was reasonably priced, light and quite powerful in the butt section, going to mate it with my avon royal and 4kg line..........cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
