nickb111 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Gday guys, After catching a few bonito and salmon on bream gear I've decided to upsize to a larger reel and a longer rod. I'm targeting bonito, salmon, tailor, rat kings and other topwater fish, with lures. I fish landbased in sydney harbour as well as from the headlands around sydney. I have a budget of $400, any ideas on the rods and reels I should be looking at? Thanks in advance! Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickb111 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Is the 4000 not too small for that? The rod sounds good Edited January 15, 2014 by nickb111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LungFai Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 4000 is plenty of grunt for your target fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeb870 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The Stradic 4000 is definitely the way to go and an amazing reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novicefisherman Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Get the 5000 stradic. Same body slightly bigger spool. I use it to spin. Edited January 20, 2014 by Novicefisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca02 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Definetley a 4000 sized reel, more than enough line capacity and drag for the fish you'll intend to target, and the perfect size to hold/spin with all day. A quality 4000 shimano (eg. Stradic, Sustain) or equivalent sized Daiwa, matched to a rod capable of throwing upto 70 grams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
