What Rod do you have?

Tambo_Junkie · #1 03-01-2008, 06:42 AM

Just interesting to see the range of rods that people have on here...

I have the new Pflueger 7"2 2-5kg 2 piece rod (Yet to use)

Nitro Innovator Ultra Bream Finnese 6"6 which is an awesome rod for the action and good caster, but doesn't seem to have much guts in it, used it quite a bit now and still no troubles.

That's my set-up, however I am going to rebuild some older discarded rods in the near future.

Hotrods any chance of showing some pics of your custom made rods?

Have heard they're top notch but haven't seen one yet

I have three of my own hill billy sticks. Nothing like hotrods masterpieces but I want my rods light and excess decals, epoxy work and guides have no place in my arsenal of plastic rods.

6'6 1-3kg that weighs 40g- The whole outfit with a reel weighs 240g THATS LIGHTER THAN SOME REELS ALONE PEOPLE!!! Pulled bream to 1.3kg on it.

2x 7' 1-3kg that weigh about 70g each. By far the best plastic rods I have ever used. Pulled bream to 1.4kg on them.

I have a 7'6 duffrod flats wrap for pelting out massive casts with hardbodies on the flats of albany and walpole.

And a 6' Heartland Z Jerking Special for in tight work with hards. Doesnt see much action these days but still a nice rod.

Egrell S1 for hards and S2 for softs. Hoping to have a Hill billy stick in the near future (when things calm down) for the tight stuff. How busy are you Brad

IceManDude · #12 03-01-2008, 04:48 PM

I am currently using (and probably will for a while) the following:

Berkley Dropshot 6'6" 2pc 1-3kg
Daiwa Procaster 6' 2pc 1-3kg (now probably about 5'8" perfect docks rod)
