I've got the sustain 6000 but was looking for a reel with a longcast spool similar to the saltiga surf and the shimano ultegra.

Guys if you looking for a rod for the braid stick to standard graphite...Hmg rods are rather stiff and struggle to get the distance you looking as you need a bit of play. A rod that has really impressed me is my Poeseidon 4. Has it done up for a grinder and I use this rod for everything if I cant use my 1 piece...The guys in my club will vouch it throws as far as my 1 piece and has alot of pulling power and best of all it does not cost an arm an a leg.

Give Mike Perreria a shout at kingfihser on a price about a customising this stick for a grinder using the heavy tip. you cant go wrong

Another Rod that is also machine is the pentagon heavy (std graphite) it is 3 piece and also strong. My mate Nick uses this rod on the grinder and its also proven itself just not sure on the price

Sorry about all the replies as soon as I press send I remember another godd rod at a good price

The new Assassin Beachmaster Medium (toray graphite) I have been testing this rod and used it the past weekend in out common venue and caught a grey shark of about 6kg and it made easy work of it, you can defiantely pull some decent fish with this rod and it well priced at under 2k

Steff that Beach Master you talking about read 5c Short of R2500 when they quoted me in the beginning of the month.

Fritzi you are correct my friend...the price I gave was it standard setup which you can't use with a grinder, the price is 2.5k built up for the grinder thanks for the correction

Fritz · « **Reply #88 on:** May 27, 2011, 06:45:56 AM »

No hasle mate, I must add that at that price you have a bionic finger included.

Don, I reckon you'd get at least an extra 20% distance with a 14 ft rod as opposed to a 12 ft...
As for your reel question...?

Fritz · « **Reply #98 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:18:21 AM »

Just remember that the Ultegra you can load with 600m of 50bl braid and the one in the picture will never get to 600m.

Angler 1 · « **Reply #99 on:** May 30, 2011, 09:40:26 AM »

shite did not know that , bu tit is aluminium in construction isnt it ? and the ultegra carbon composite , what size is that reel anyway , it looks like a bigesh type reel
