Submitted by Markie on Sun, 2013-06-23 21:27
as states im looking for a rod to suit a baitrunner running 30 to 40lb braid about 6 to 7 ft long so any reccomendations please dont hesitate. I dont want to spend big at all i have stellas n saltiga rods etc and do alot of plastic fishing and jigging etc but this is purely for driftbaiting for pinkies in the sound using bait so i dont need expensive gear just something i dont need to be worried about getting bait on etc.
cheers Marko
