jaysondanielgraham Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Went for a quick session on sat night with a few mates. It was a really quiet night with a few fish with a few surprises along the way. My mate got a mullet on plastic and my other mate got a blackfish on a grub. Then as we are about to leave my mate gets a Jew around the 70cm and I get hammered by something which by the looks of it was a small Jew but lost it halfway through the fight. Anyways that's fishing. I was talking to my mate about getting into fishing with light gear. He told me that he had a combo for sale. A lox yoshi 1-3kg rod and a team Diawa fuego reel in the 1000A. Now loaded with 4lb braid for fun. For them both for the price of the rod. Has anyone used the Diawa before and if so what is it like? Any feed back is appreciated.

Jew Stalker Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Mullet on a plastic??? I didn't think they went for plastics at all... At least I have never caught one on them and have thrown them through schools on more than one occasion. Nice work on the little jewie too, I bet your mate was happy when that came out of the water. Also I have to add for your sake, it is better to have hooked and lost than never to have hooked at all hehe. Cliche I know but it is true.

PRED-ATOR Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Mate thats an awesome combo, you will be very happy with it. As for mullet on plastics, ive seen them take z man grubz in water melon. I dont know why i think it may just be a reaction bite or something. I had one smash me when fishing for bream in a canal. Nice jewy btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Nice Jew! Mullet on a plastic would have been a real surprise. But knowing there are Jews lurking around I would have sent it back as a livey or fillet! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysondanielgraham Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yeah the mullet are becoming a regular thing with 1 being caught in the last few trips. And can't wait to chase the bream with the new gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbdshroom Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Great setup. I always wanted one of those rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolforjesus Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Daiwa Fuego reel is the same as the Daiwa Luvias reel. I have the Luvias reel and love it! My mate has the Lox 1-3kg rod, great rod. They are however prone to the tip snapping, so be careful not to fish too heavy lures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I had a 20cm bream on a lox 1>3 and the tip just snapped so I gave them the boot as I have never ever broken a rod or tip in 48yrs of fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysondanielgraham Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Really ill have to look into it should be ok only using 4lb line. I only paid 250 bucks for the combo so not to worried Edited August 20, 2013 by jaysondanielgraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBCB Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I owned the exact same reel, it is the "American" Luvias, same parts, if something goes wrong with it, you can order the Ozzie luvias equivalent part. The only difference is in the weight of the body, slightly lighter thanks to magnesium, as far as I'm concerned, that reel is even lighter than the CI4 series compare to their line capacity. Anyway, good little machine, I kept it 4 years and ended up acting silly chasing drummers and bonies on light gear, no good ! One season has been fatal ! You'll have great fun on light estuary species, the drag is the only crappy thing on that reel, as most of the drags were on that generation of daiwa. That said, until 800 / 1 kg drag pressure, the thing is more than acceptable. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
