olic33 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 hey guys, just picked me up a shimano baitrunner st 4000fa reel and am looking for a 2nd opinion on what rod to match it up with amd whether I should use braid or mono? will be targeting mainly bream, flathead and jewfish from a boat and some landbased. have been looking at the gomoku and the samaki zing...thoughts??

Crossfire63 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Depends where and how you want to use, Rocks, beach, estuary??? Bait fishing?? Plastic Lures?? Not as simple as you may think Edited December 9, 2014 by Crossfire63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olic33 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 would be mainly on a boat, and probably off a couple of wharfs I go to from time to time..im not much into the plastics so would be bait fishing 9 times out of 10. I know the gomuku is a jigging rod but I have a mate who uses it for baitfishing and loves it because he gets that light action feel with the heavy weight capability, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossfire63 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Either rod will do the job . All depends on how much you want to spend. You don't need to spend a lot to be successful catching bream and flathead. An Ugly stick will do the same job for half the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olic33 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'd prefer to keep it around the $150 mark but im more concerned with getting the right match, if I have to spend a bit more then so be it..thanks for the reply mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossfire63 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well if you want to spend that much an ICON Bad Boyz in any weight class is a superior rod to either of those and comes with better quality hardware. It will give more feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
