Steep Point Spin Rod
Submitted by johnray on Wed, 2011-11-30 17:35
Gents. That time of the year is fast approaching and I'm on the hunt for a new spin rod for Steep Point, something that is capable of flicking Nilsmasters/Rapalas around 9ft? Price isnt a great consideration as I normally keep my gear for years so I'm not shy of spending a little extra upfront. I'm a saltiga fan so I'd be looking at something to accomodate a 4000 weight/ size capacity reel. Thanks.

What have you got to offer sherbs rather than ridicule?
Anything at your shop half decent?

Demon blood 962h rated pe2-4
Demon blood 962h rated pe2-4 is a very versatile rod that can handle large minnows and metals up to 120g
Keep an eye open for the new 10' nitro rockstar 10-20kg. Should retail for $399 when released.

Check out the 9ft Lemax President Royal, it's hauled in plenty of quality fish off the Steep and Quobba rocks.
It's available from the Tackle Shack if you're NOR, Anglers Spot if you're SOR or flick me a PM for more info...

I can vouch for the Lemax rods
But I haven't fished Steep Point LOL. Plenty of grunt for a very reasonable price.

Hi Zack, the combo you
Hi Zack, the combo you mentioned will certainly do the job, but when you plan to fish more than a couple of days on the trot, it`s one heavy combo. Jonray my first combo for Quobba and the like was a GB1800 ugly stick and a 850 penn, still got it but now use a graphcast 2 and a saltiga 4500h
. I see a few blokes from this site have just returned from a Quobba sojourn and lost a few lures $$$, when the sharks move in the cheap option is the ever reliable leadhead jig, a much cheaper option and even moreso if they are home made. Speed is what you are after when using these so the reel has to accomodate, the emblem pro is a lighter option than the 9500, but still a tad heavy.
You will no doubt be given plenty of options, at the end of the day i like to feel like my arms i haven`t been through the wringer

understandable, Not sure if
understandable, Not sure if you have been before but the sharks are worse than Quobba so if you get a big run you want to get it in fast.
