anthman Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hi all, having always wanted to try an OH setup I finally took the plunge on a recent dinga deal for a Biscayne lever drag 20 reel (supposedly 420m of 30LB at 10.8kg drag). Now I need a matching rod! Can anyone with experience suggest a few rods in the entry level and mid level price ranges? Would be used for trolling for anything and dropping livies for kings. Also would be chucking braid on, so potentially more capacity if the 420m of 30lb is mono. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthman Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Tossing up between 5'6 10-15kg or 15-24kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah Me Ting Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Two very different rated rod classes there mate. Your described use would suggest the heavier stick might be overkill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthman Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 @DerekD has kindly suggested the Shimano backbone series. They have both 10-15 and 15-24kg. Will go 15-24 to give a higher ceiling should I move to some heavy duty application (will prob end up with both). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
