cowanjo Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Gday all - I have a mate coming over in August 2011 to experience Canada - looking forward to loads of fishing, He sent me the following email around what he wants to pick up while he is here. I thought I would seek your advice because he is asking me and i have some opinion but normally everyone here likewise has some great ideas and directions. So here it is note he lives in Sydney and does a great deal of spinning of the rocks for salmon, tuna, tailor and king fish •Keep an eye out for a nice surf/spin outfit. Say a St Croix Mojo surf spin in 11' med heavy which I can use for my bait rod as well. Maybe the MSS110MHMF2. Happy to have an equivalent in a Lamiglas but criteria is most definitely must be a lightweight graphite (to old to spin with a heavy glass blank). I would love the St Croix Legend in the LSS110MHMF2 or the LSS106MHMF2 but with a retail of US450 this would have to be seriously on sale. More likely the Mojo at around $240 even if not on sale...or whatever else fits the bill. I am not as fussed on the reel, but don't want anything that weighs a ton and it does not have to be massive. I will be fishing this largely with braid and should hold say 300metres of 30 pound braid, have a good drag, decent retrieve ratio and be saltwater compatible. Budget a couple of hundred here. Happy to have carbonex drag upgrades in this. So what does everyone think? Thank you so much as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 John, I don't think you'll get a surf rod around here without ordering it. I'd make sure you plan ahead time-wise.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
