Hey raiders !!

Over the weekend managed to get to the tackle store for a splurge !! Thought I would go have a look at some new rods and reels n everything else in the store lol I'm sure everyone knows what I mean !! Cut a long story short ended up walking out there with a new combo, very exciting ! (misses wasn't as impressed) !!!

I got myself a Shimano Ballistix Pro in a 7ft 6-10kg matched with a Shimano Aernos XT 4000 with 20lb American braid (can't remember the brand name but it's very thin but strong) !!

Jus wanted to know if anyone had used this combo or used the rod or reel and what they thought of the combo !!

I'm looking at doin heavy sp fishing for Jews and smaller kings so any advice would be great !!

I'll attach some pics for you guys !!

Cheers,

i havent used one but was wondering roughly how much the combo was if you dont mind :1fishing1:

Hey mate I didn't go to any online fishing store or nothing of the sort I went down to my local tackle store for my gear !!

Rod cost around $120, reel was around $170 and the braid I used was around $50 for 150m !! Might be a bit pricey but the owner knows me well and always fixes me up if I have any problems !! For example snapped a really expensive plastics rod around 7months ago only had it for a week (I broke it in the car) took it back in and he replaced it with a brand new one no charge or questions asked !!

IMO its a decent combo for the price but I dont know till I've used it heheh hence main reason for my post lol !!

And yeah mate the Aernos XT is a really smooth ! Can't say much more lol but hopefully it pulls up some cracker fish !!

Cheers guys,

Jez
