Rod to Match a Stella 8k
Been trying to work out for a mate a half decent rod to match his Stella 8k He did have one of those Monster Mesh Max's but the Grips came lose in the first trip away with it, so not keen on another.
He's wanting to spend about 300 or so, so was looking at the Daiwa Demon bloods, problem is matching the rod to suit the fishing requirements.
Stella is running PE 5, and is mainly used for bottom bashing up North (out of Exmouth). He does not fish all that often, and puts his gear through its paces. (going hard to get the reds past the sharks, high sticking etc!)
The demon blood 56 spin is a little light on being rated at PE 3-5.
This is what busted the rod butt on the Monster Mesh
I don't see a lot in the Shimano range, but I guess I have never used them either.
Any recommendations?
Cheers
Bodie
