Lure fishing set up

#1 Post by skateboy »

Hi Folks,
Just looking for some advice. I want to get a dedicated lure fishing set up. i'm looking for a rod that stiff enough to get distance with a light lure, but soft enough to get a good feel of the lure. Also a well matched smooth action reel. I'm budgeting around €150 for this, can anyone make any recommendations?
Thanks a million,
Skateboy. :wink:

Hi a good set up would be a savage gear bush wacker lure rod 8' & a shimano exage 4000 size reel loaded with power pro 20lb braid.€150 will more than cover this set up hope this helps.

I have the 4000 exage aswel man very good reel, i have a daiwa wilderness spinning rod 10-40 gram and find it very good, tecklon concept is another really popular spinning rod but its a bit more expensive.

I would recommend the Teklon Concept too. You should pick one up for around €150ish. Really great rod and you will not be disappointed with it.
