Title: Looking for a new rod
Post by: bassing africa on September 26, 2013, 08:48:23 AM

Hi guys
I'm looking at getting a new rod that can handle 3-5oz Plugs. to pair with a 10000 size reel. Fishing mostly the Transkei coast for  :grk: . I have a Aerocast and is very happy with it, but it tops out at 3oz. any suggestions.

Or you can go for a custom build rod. I have a 13ft BM T53 custom build rod casting 20z - 5oz for that job and I cast a plug or

spoon a good 160m with it.
