Title: Evergreen Poseidon Jigging rods
Post by: David Sharples on November 13, 2008, 10:11:01 PM

Has anyone got any expereience with these or know of a source for them?

Was looking at a blog the other day, forget which one, and saw the Poseidon Spin Jerker PE2 model paired with a 3000 Stella which looked awesome.

No idea when I'd use this but I feel I want one.

Any help appreciated!

Andre check out this combo. Sweet huh? Imagine for those school size yellowtail you get down there. Or for over shallow reefs in Moz or Tanzania... Lot better than bombing with a #12 fly rod and will handle all the fish you're likely to get except a bus GT or potato bass...

David - I hear ya man, just had a look, certainly a sexy looking little bugger, fun as hell on our Yellowtail, Geelbek and maybe the shoal Couta and Snoek up the coast...

Soooooo many nice toys out there!!!

Have seen a pe3 model in action.
Landed a 27kg wrasse with the help of a Stella 6000.
Seems to be a hell of a rod.

Hi guys,

Cheers for the info. Any idea of online retailers to order one from?

Especially like the custom version on that blog with the abbreviated handle!
