Mr Squidy Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 What are you chasing? Shore based or boat? I have a 4000 Ci4 with 20lb braid on a Abu Veritas 6'6" 6-10Kg rod that I use from a boat for jewies, kings, dollies, etc. Fish a mix of soft plastics, live and dead bait depending on what we are chasing. Love that outfit to bits and rod goes for about $150 from memory. Cheers, Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a stradic Ci4 in 4000 reel with 8lb line then I think you have under classed the line to the reel as it has an 11kg drag. As @Mr Squidy has suggested, more info needed, that are you targeting? Edited August 24, 2020 by kingie chaser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't hesitate to get a heavier version & it's around or a bit under that price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob81 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 NS Blackhole Amped II are nice rods to use, depending which model you want, they're roughly under $170. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
