Recommendations for a spinning rod

[JSM81]

Hey guys,

 

I haven’t done much fishing off the stones.

 Going down to pretty beach and looking for a rod to use off snapper point that I can also use flicking 20-30g metals from the beaches there too.

any suggestions for something under $200? It’ll be paired with a 5000 vanford 

thanks

For a cheaper but good quality option, there are the 9ft 6-8kg or 10ft 4-7kg shimano catanas that are awesome in my opinion, going quite cheap at some stores at the moment.

My other suggestions would be-

Maikuro 9ft 6-8kg or 10ft 4-7kg

Penn prevail 9ft or 10ft

I'd say all of these rods would be alright with a 5000, especially considering the featherweight of the vanfords.

1 of my favourite rods at the moment for chucking light jigs and metals is a 9ft symmetry rod. It came in a combo and I sold the reel for a good price and bought a 4000 nasci for it. It's awesome for throwing metals, and now I have a 9ft catana as well, I can say the catana is also great.

Hope this helps, cheers

Good advice above from @Drunkenfisho.

Along with his recommendations take a look at something from the Daiwa Overthere range. These are terrific rods and with some great deals going at the moment, they are just in your price range.

I use a Penn Prevail 2 10'6'' off the rocks with metal lures. Super rod.

There are some specials on at the moment under $200.

As @Green Hornetsuggests the Dawia Overthere range is also a good rod. Retail for $299 but there is a store selling them for $199 on special at the moment.

Cheers.
