Rod for Stickbaits
Submitted by CityFlicker on Thu, 2013-03-07 17:45
I'm after recommendations on a new rod for throwing stickbaits & minnows in the 10-25 gram range at tailor & salmon as my current lure rod is too heavy for this job. It is to be matched up with a 4000 or 5000 Stradic & I'd prefer a rod over 8ft long to help with casting distance & working the lures. Budget is $150-$180. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Stickbait rod
Hi mate we stock the Eupro Exploder 8ft. It has a soft action and matches 4000 stradics very well. Will be hard to get a rod that will cast 10gm lures well though anything around 20gm is awesome with this rod. I know as I was recently using this rod down north mole catching Bonito in the mornings. We can do this rod for $135 for FW members making it awesome value.
