MattGb1989 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hey fellow raiders, I'm looking for any advice on what to purchase for a new rod n reel for estray fishing from wharfs and landbase using both sp's and bait targeting flatties, bream and Whitting. My budget is $150-$200 all up. I'm also looking for a cheap reel for an old Jarvis walker I have just as a second rod to use.

Wellzy94 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Beat me to it, BrassRoots. Some good answers over there, I'd be checking out the big camping and fishing store for any Veritas combos left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhanz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I just got the 6kg veritas combo and took it off shore, cleaned up the spotted mack with it. Got 3 around 7+ kgs and didnt havea problem with the rod, was fun on the lighter gear. Those combos have a decent review from users as far as i know i think there on sale for $160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lachie1325 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 i personally have a shimano raider 722 1-4kg with a shimano aernos on it but you could definitely use a sienna or sedona on it. its honestly a really great rod and reel combo for the price and you wont have any trouble casting soft plastics especially with light braided lines such as daiwa j braid or sunline super in anywhere between 6-10lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_tate Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Shimano Raider or Starlo Classix 7' with a Symetre 2500 reel is a good combo for that budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers bud, I bought the Abu Garcia vertilas with a 250 reel, was on sale as a combo and was well worth the money. But I will keep that in mind as I also picked up a 3-5kg Shimano rod of my bro as he didn't need it no more so now need a reel for that.
