hi lockdown friends

what rod is the best for fishing paddletails , bucktails etc from a jetski and boat

I have not fished with soft plastics before. I am looking to buy a shimano stradic fl 5000 reel which I would use for the surf as well

I have already bought a okuma nomad travel 10 feet rod for the surf

all advise is appreciated

dankie vir die terugvoer. ek sien daar is baie trevala modelle. enige spesifieke een wat jy aanbeveel

natuurlik wil n mens die stok so kort as moontlik he vir die jetski

is die trevalla n lekker stok vir braid(minimum kraaineste)

ek is n mono man en hierdie sal my eerste braid poging wees

ek is nou al so lus vir visvang ek begin myself jammer kry

I would suggest the TVS66MH. After the first fish, you're going to wonder why you didn't start using braid a looooong time ago. Feels so much better with a fish on the end.

What do you think of the Nomad?

with too much time on my hand during the lockdown I started watching you tube videos

that is how the world of paddle tails entered my life. I am a bait fisherman and soft plastics and bucktails were not even in my thoughts

I bought the okuma medium heavy a week ago so I haven't used it but most off the you tube reviews are crazy about it

"this rod has Fuji Alconite K-guides. The guides are not perpendicular to the rod, but are "bent" upwards toward the rod tip (looks like the letter "K" in profile). In fact, I thought the rod guides were bent until I saw the Fuji tag. They claim it helps reduce line tangles"

the above is also one of the reasons why I bought the rod. ek soek nie kraaineste nie. wil see if that helps
