Strudwick-Sicstik-Pro Or Raider Ii?

[Stippy]

G'day guys,

Once again I'm putting it to the forum for some advice before I splurge. I'm now the proud owner of an Abu Soron STX40 (per the other thread) so I'm looking for a rod to complement without breaking the bank. I can get the Strudwick for $118 or for that same money I can get the 4-7kg light snapper Raider. One benefit of the Raider is that it's two piece so it will fit in the car easier, also got a few inches on the Strudwick at 7'3" v 7'0.

Planning on chasing rat kings and snapper land based; with live bait when I can get it but more often with soft placcys.

Thanks ladies and gents,

Adam.

P.S I should really stop posting in this part of the forum - it invariably costs me money!

Hi Adam,

If you buy the sic stick and fish hard you will be going back to buy the raider. IE you will break the sic stick.

Not saying the raider is right for you but DO NOT but the sic stick.

Hi mate

i have the 1-3kg sic stic pro and iv cought every thing from bream big flatties and average size bonnies on mine and it handles good but the bonnies realy tested the rod. I cant see why the heavier model wouldnt handle snapper and rats.
