Rod to match Stella 10000??

(1/4) > >>

Aerospace:
Hey guys,

I just got myself a new stella 10000 (Looks like its something of the shuttle...beautiful!) and am now wanting to match it with a new rod, and have read a few post about it, but still not sure. i want a rod i can use both from a boat and the shore, so i guess casting distance is important, but will be fishing in the seychelles later this year, so its needs to be powerful for the big fish out there. Any suggestions what i should get? My budget is around 6-700AUS.

Any advice much appreciated!

Mick Cunningham:
6-700 range would be the zenaq ...

another question what line will you be using so it would help us share our thought,s to you ...

Andy Rowe:
Presuming you will be loading either 5 or 6 PE for 300 to 270m of line respectively, maybe too big a presumption :P

You have a top of the line reel!!!

Have you looked by chance at the carpenter 'coral viper' CV79/35RF or CV79/40RF new model Carpenter rods would fit the spec but the budget has blown ever so slightly, you can get these for another couple of hundred AUD from the US.

I'm about to put one on my Z6000GT loaded with PE6 varivas, don't tell the wife.

Sachin Chaudhry:
Hi Andrew. You could try HOTS Gipang and go for the 75XXH which is rated to PE 12. Andrew Wooley Page who is a member on this forum has the Australian distribution rights for HOTS so you could send him a PM.

Aerospace:
Thanks for the replies guys

I am planning to put one spool of 50lbs braid, and then a 20000 spool with 80lbs braid on it, so i guess its pretty heavy gear i am looking for??
