Pe5 outfit

Travis Heaps:
Hi everyone, long time no see but I have a question.

I'm chasin a PE5 outfit.  Mainly for 60-100gm lure work over shallow reef areas, poppers, sticks, sps etc.  Looking at the daiwa cb77s-f with the saltiga 4500.  Does anyone have reviews on this combo? Also what other rods can you recommend in this range?

Lou arellano:
What is your budget.

Travis Heaps:
Meh - budget, +$700 for rod begins to scare me off.  Reels well it's only Stella or saltiga there so we all know the price for them.

Wan Izhan:
For my PE5 outfit i go for Carpenter TBL80/30RF-SHP and Hots Gipang 78MH.
As for reels, the old Saltiga Z4500H and 2010 Saltiga 5000H.

Trevor Skinner:
Travis,

I've been looking at the Carpenter TBL 80/30 although it's over your budget (about $900-$1000) and have yet to use one. Quite a few of the guys that fish in this part of the world (Oman) use the Hots 711mh teamed with an SW10,000 for their medium weight gear. It's a very nice combination particularly for the $ and has landed some very big fish (admittedly on PE6).


Regards,


Trevor
