What guides do they have

it would be good if they had titanium SiC on them
even better if they had gold cement !?

Daniel the bream buster will set you back $450.

Heaney mentioned the new finesse which is a 7 foot rod and is designed for plastics,it is amazing how a little extra length really helps your fishing.....

Rayman they come with the ultra light alconites which l am understanding they are better than silicones in performance and weight,of course gold cermets are the greatest guide to put on a rod but the extra $350 is a hard add on for any fisherman....

These rods can be read about at from Ian's web site
at www.millerods.com . Becuase with no dealer in WA it will be hard to get a look....

We are lucky over here ....

There are definitley some nice rods around at the moment... The Breamreaper Matt Fraser has mentioned sounds like a real nice setup.... $385 I believe.

wouldn`t discount them either..

G'day Daniel,

A bit closer to home, you may want to try Otto's Fishy Business at Drummoyne, Sydney! Go in a speak to the guys there, they are very helpful and usually have a good selection of Miller Rods (except for when demand oversees supply

). Well worth the money, considering you are buying on of the best rods on the market!

Hi Richo, I have spoken to the agent here in WA for the Breamreapers and they are $349. If we can get an order of 5 together he will discount them to $319.

Drop me a line if you're interested.

HTH.

Ian Miller lives near me and his new work shop is right next door to where my wife does her shopping and they are beautiful rods and he ships Australia wide and International orders so getting one to your door won't be a prob but handling one before purchase might be.

l agree the bream reaper is a good looking and feeling rod.

l dont really know how your fishing methods in WA but on the Gold Coast throwing 1\16 th oz jig heads is the key to catching good bream not all the time but l would say 80 percent of the time.

And feeling the bream reaper and hearing from matt fraser throwing 1\16th jig heads isnt an option with this rod it is suited to 1\8th and up jig heads,Matt may clarify this but if throwing small heads is the way you guys have to fish then this rod isnt the one that will suit.......

What you can do is cast without the lure right up at the tip
leave 30cm or(more/less) or so of line
it might be a little bit harder to aim
but casts perfect
/or
the bow and arrow cast

Richo · #14 19-01-2003, 09:26 PM

Trav,

I was looking to be using it mainly as a hard body rod.... the reports were good for that purpose weren`t they??..

richo

trav · #15 20-01-2003, 06:23 AM

yes Richo it looks like a good hard bodied rod.....If thats what your after then it will fit the bill nicely....
