Stickbait rod for PE6-8, advise needed

(1/6) > >>

Jason Haack:
Hi All,

Looking to increase my arsenal now the bug has bitten, looking for a rod - not too long, for throwing stickbaits in the 90-120g range and the odd smaller popper like the Cubera 100. Matched to a Stella 18000 or 10000, not sure yet so advise on a reel is also helpful.
Still needs to have the power to handle my local GT's which can reach 30kg but the norm are around 20-25kg.
Looking at Ripple fisher or Carpenter but open to any other brands.

Cheers.

Trevor Skinner:
Jason,

From my experience I can recommend a couple of PE6 set ups. They're all +8 ft but manageable imho

Carpenter TBL 83/32 with a Stella 14000

Race Point 150 with either the 10,000 or the 14000

Don't overlook the Hots 83H either, it loads 100g stickbaits easily.

There's heaps of others.

Regards,


Trevor

Jason Haack:
Cheers Trevor, will into these.

Jason Haack:
Was hoping to stay under 8ft for ease of use around the boat. Maybe limiting my options though.

Mark Harris:
For under 8 foot, PE6-8 and those lure weights Jason, you could look at a couple of Ripple Fishers:

Ultimo 711ML    
Ultimo 79MH

Xpedition Tackle in Singapore have both.

There are what seem to be suitable Carpenters under 8 feet but they are very hard if not impossible to find.
