Daiwa seajigger surf rods
Submitted by lunker on Thu, 2011-05-05 10:31
Hey guys I'm interested to hear anybody's opinions on these, they seem to look the goods for lure throwing.
I've been using an 8ft xzoga mastery for lure and unweighted mulie chucking, but sometimes I feel it's just a bit short and I'm missing ground I should be hitting. Has anybody got any other rods in mind, either 9 or 10ft of a similar price? Mainly tailor, salmon etc
Cheers!

I've actually been eyeing
I've actually been eyeing them off for a while now, I'm looking at the 305 12-20lb for a 4000 ci4 running 20lb. They feel really nice and light and load up quite nicely but they have very minimal grip. I'm thinking of putting some headshrink grips on.
I used to have a 9 foot mastery and that did really well, smashed some salmon on it, a few rays and a mulla but then it died in a shed roof accident.

FWA Series rod....
Perhaps have a look at the 9ft FWA Series spin rod. Rated 8-10kg, cast weight up to 65-70gm.
Great value for a graphite rod made with Japanese blank.

Do you know anybody stocking
Do you know anybody stocking them at the moment? I'm just running off what I've read on the net so far. I was looking at the 305 also, on paper seems pretty much spot on. I actually like the minimal grips, same as they have on the xzoga which has been a good rod but yeh just a bit short

Nice rods have used them
Nice rods have used them before,but after having used the new fuji K tangle free guides i would defiantly be looking for a rod with them(azusa make a 8 and 9ft around the same price as the seajigger with fuji k guides)

Highly recommend them.Have
Highly recommend them.
Have been fishing with a 305 Seajigger for a while now with a 4000/5000 class spin reel. Spin lures in 30-60g range is ideal and effortlessly cast these weights out of sight.
The Fuji lowrider guides that come on them reduce line tangle and are designed for long distance casting with braid.
Cheers,
