Rod for Stradic 5000? HELP PLS
Submitted by Robbo88 on Thu, 2013-09-05 19:06
G'day fellas,
For fathers day my boys got me a Stradic 5000 (yeeeoooww) but I don't know what rod to match it with. I was set on the Monster Mesh PE2-4 but after reading Snuffs recent post I'm having second thoughts. I currently have a Stradic 8000 paired with a 7'6 Catalina but I find it a touch to long for the boat.
I will mainly be jigging and bottom bashing with bait for King George and Snapper. I don't want to Re-mortgage the house but I happy to spend a couple hundred and buy something of good quality that will last me years!
Cheers for you're help in advance!

Shimano TEREZ ....
Shimano TEREZ .... Should be able to get one for a little over $250. But @ 6'9" might still be a little long for you maybe. I love mine though !!!

Love the Terez
The Terez is a awesome bit of gear! I have an over head and love it. My bro in law has one paired with his stradic 5000 and it was outstanding on our Exmouth trip.
But as the rivalry goes, I need something better hahaha
