hey guys
I am about to start doing a lot of barra fishing on lake awoonga and am in need of a new rod to match with my chronarc, any ideas suggestions? price isn't that much of an issue.
Also what lb braid would you recommend for impoundment fishing??
cheers steve

there are so many on the market these days, the nitro dominator is my latest barra stick, i love it. te raiders are good for their price as well i had them for years
a lot of guys fish 50lb in the impoundments, i think it is overkill myself and have always used 30. Saying that though there are some big fish in those lakes, stopping them can be an issue
80lb leader isnt as stupid as it sounds either
