Sj4711 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi Raiders looking for a rod that can handle both flathead and jewfish on the lake in a boat. iv been looking at the diawa TD Zero 742mhs which is a 7”4, 4-10kg recommended Line with 21g cast weight thought this would be ideal for the vibes and soft plastics would love Some Advice and or different setups , Cheers !

kingie chaser Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Imo buy 2 rods! 2-4kg for flathead 4- whatever for jew. Edited May 14, 2020 by kingie chaser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I agree with kingie chaser on the 2 rods if possible, but if it has to be one rod only, I'd be going with a 3-6kg setup. Assuming you're fishing from a boat 6kg is fine for mulloway, unless you're in nasty country and I think overall you'll benefit from a rod that suits lighter lures. Something that suits around 7-18g.

bluefin Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have 2 Jew outfits. No 1 Daiwa Wild Weasel 2 to 6 kg up to 14 grams. 2 nd Veritas 7" 4 to 8 kg 10 to 48 gram. This is a new addition, and now has a permanent place in my Armory. Very nice to fish with !!! Great for deep water winter fishing up here in the Hastings !!!!!!

Berrero Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I own multiple TD zero rods and highly recommend them! 1-3kg, 2-5kg, 5-10kg. Very light rods with good flex in the tips but also a very strong spine so lots of pulling power. Some people are put off by the shiny silver colour but trust me they are amazing rods The 2-5kg is my flathead setup with a 2500 stradic ci4+ and the 5-10kg is my jewie setup with a 4000 stradic ci4+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
