any advice on this combo please

im new to this game and i am looking to set myself up with some half decent gear, and if i like it i will upgrade,would a daiwa samuri 7i coupled with a shimano sqidgey 6,6 rod be a good combo to start with.
i was thinking of spending between 200-250 on a rod and reel to get me started, can anyone suggest anything else

thanks tim

Thumbs up Nice starter combo

Well matched combo, and you'll have enough left over from your $250 to get some Fireline and leader as well.

Are you in WA ???

If so, give Geoff a call in the shop tomorrow as we stock both of these. I'll get him to look after you. The number is 9271 0555.

Cheers

Warren.

Thumbs up same combo as me

Hi Tim,

I purchased about 4 weeks ago a Daiwa Samurai-7i reel and a Shimano Steve Starling Squidgy Spin 70 rod from Geoff at the Bream Master shop and have found it to be a great combination. Geoff was also very helpful in setting me up with a good selection of lures and soft plastics. I don't have a boat (yet), so the 7ft rod helps. If you have a boat perhaps go for the 6' or 6'6''.

Cheers,

David

even with the boat i'd be going the 7'

i'm beginning to think 7'6" would be better still...
