Howzit guys, please can you help me out I have a friend who wants to buy himself a dropshot rod and reel... He is willing to spend R400 on the rod and R400 on the reel... Any ideas or experiences? :tkx: Have a good weekend :tite
-
I would say as a first time reel get a shimano slade they are pretty cheap but box way above their weight! Rods I'm not too sure I have not looked in ages
-
Yip Shimano Slade or Sidestab 4000. Shimano Convergence 7" rod to match... I got both for that price 3 years ago..
Top action , throws plugs , plastics....

:tkx: guys :sml:
-
Another reel to consider is the Daiwa Regal. Very smooth rod and a 2500/3500 size should come in well below R400.

Thanks Jakes, will let him know! :tkx:

My drop-shot set-up cost me around R500. It's a blue marlin boss rod that comes with two tips (light and heavy). I paired it with a Penn accord 4000 reel (12 pound fireline) and it works lekker. On a recent trip to moz i used it to spin for the bonnies of the boat and landed quite a few on this set-up the biggest was around 3-4 kg. Those bonnies really give you a good workout on light tackle.

Yeah Mike the pro caster is an amazing reel a friend of mine has one! :tkx:... They have pushed prices up on it recently though...

And match it up with maybe a Daiwa Megaforce M/H (8ft) spinning rod ..would be a nice combo as well check www.fishingtackle.co.za (http://www.fishingtackle.co.za) for more info and specs.

Chat to Khan at rockhustler.co.za , maybe he can get a good price together on above combo.. :dunno:

Slade 4000 and Daiwa Mega Force rod. I need to replace my tactix after those idiots from LAM airways broke mine, so I think I'll buy a megaforce. Looks like an awesome little rod.

I have both the 7' and 8' Megaforce, possibly the best value around - just look after the eyes.
I have caught lots of Kawakawa up to 5kgs on the 7' with a Salina 55 throwing poppers and spoons - awesome rod!! The Salina is now on the 8' but no fish yet.
