Why would you buy a stella 10k for jigging =(

more bottom bashing than anything why answer a question with a question?

not into the popping seen but i do like to get my fish off the bottom in a hurry to many sharks up here put a bit of hurt on them i reckon. most of the bottom dwellers where i fish are in about the 30 to 40m mark so i like to go hard on them.

Samurai Reaction Jig 10. Awesome rod. Have one matched to my 8000 and man has it got some balls, but with a sweet action.

Good on ya mullows where you do most of your fishing about same depths or deeper

Got into em out at the Montes Carry in those depths and a then a bit wider. Do a bit out a way from Dampier and I can't fault it mate. I know Neels (crasny1) has the same outfit also. Hooked into a few biiiiggg sharks and it knocked em over pretty quick and more to the point, painlessly for me.

I'm in the process of getting a Black hole cape cod special 250 g built for this type of work. A mate is getting one built as well to put his Stella 8000 on it. The Samurai range of rods are great but I reckon the NV10 has too fast a taper and is a bit of a broomstick. The BH is a far better rod and in your budget.

The Saltiga range of rods are also worth a look for this price range and a good budget option is the Fin Nor offshore rods, in this case the 80lb one. Quite a nice rod these and will do the job nicely. If you are going 50lb the T curve deep jig 200 is also a great rod.

Cheers boys im out at Wickham so doing pretty much the same thing as you boys i have been drooling over the saltigas but am just curious as to what else is out there half of the rods mentioned i have never even herd of let alone seen alot of my other gear are xzogas i will do a bit of research on the bh cape cod as for the fin nor i had a look in karratha at one of the fin nor rods today and your right they look the goods when i asked the owner if he had any good reports on them he asked me to load the rod up while he hung onto the tip and for an 80lb rod i dont reckon i had it not even half way loaded and it started making all  sorts of cracking noises i think the owner shit himself haha said he didnt like the sound so he put it back in the rack.We off to glomar shoals on saturday so hopefully have something before then to smash some critters.

 Gday Carry ive been using a couple of ugly sticks the bluewater jig/spin 24kg with a shitty fin nor 8500 with great results, load one of them up in the shop i bet that dont make a noise, can only imagine what it would be like with a stella on it (Choice) seen a broken T curve at Coral bay not keen on them but thats my opinion, plus you would get lots of change $$$$ on ya budget, will update ya on the Texalium this weekend, good luck on the trip this weekend send us a couple of pics

Gday Taffy no worries i think ive nailed it down to 2 rods its a xzoga or saltiga probably the xzoga at this stage igot another 3 of them and i cant break them and they load up awesome but will send some pics of some good bottom fish and we gunna hit the billfish as well spent all night servicing my reels and hittin the gardies this morning and up again to the wee hours rigging the bastards up.i hope the texalium goes well let me know if anything goes pear shaped we can sort something out ,i will be down in november for foo fighters concert if you keen for a fish i be there for a week have a beer at least if you keen .
