helliconia Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 In an unfortunate mishap last weekend while taking a work mate for his first ever fishing trip I lost my 2 favourite rods over the side of the boat. I spent a bit of time researching what was out there and decided on the following replacements: Gary Howard Bay Hunter 7' 6kg with a Daiwa Legalis 3000, spooling with 12lb Berkeley Nanofil Daiwa TDT 7' graphite 2-4kg with a Daiwa Legalis 2500, spooling with 5lb Power Pro braid The Gary Howard will be for bait and small lure trolling, the Daiwa for Soft Plastics and blades.

sydangler Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) they sound good to me mate. the new shimano sustains are definitely worth a look. I've got to ask how you lost the other two rods? Edited September 26, 2012 by sydangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helliconia Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) It's a story I should post in my previous bloopers post.... I had a burley bomb over the side, tied off with a cord to the side of the boat with a loose knot. Pulled up the anchor, took off (not retrieving the burley bomb of course)and the knot gave way. The coil of cord was on the floor and got wrapped around the butts of 2 rods and took them over the back of the boat at about 26 knots.
