Rod That Will Cast 5g-20g

#1 Post by razor2 »

Looking for a rod that will cast between 5g-20g something that wont brake the bank and between 6.5ft & 8ft.If anyone has something in that bracket they might share the name what they think 8)

I'm a fan of the ugly stik, and they're relatively cheap & very hard-wearing. My favourite is the 9ft, but they come in all shapes & sizes. http://www.shakespeare-fishing.com/index_rods.html

The ugly stik are a great rod . I got a mitchell spinning rod for 15 euro new for the child and paired it to a shimano hyperloop reel loaded with 10lb mono and its great surprisingly. Flicks out baby rapallas with ease and good feel. The child hasnt seen the rod since lol

Hi Razor the Teklon Concept 702L 5g-25g or Savage Gear Bushwacker XLNT 3g-18g should do the job and wont break the bank

Hi Ray,
if its for general sp and lure work then you really cant go wrong with the grauvell concept 802ml,or for lighter work 7 to 25grms theres the 702,cracking rods for the money you really can't go wrong.Or the other option would be the other rod i mentioned used by you know who,just pm him to get the name of the model.
PS 9 days and counting or is it 10 :lol:

Hi
I don't know if you have got your rod yet, but Savagegear do a rod specially for soft plastics and small lures called the Jig n' Spin 5-20 gm. I have bought one and used it a few times and it certainly flicks out a tiny sea trout spoon a long way, and it is reasonably priced and nicely finished, like all savagegear stuff.
