need help for baitcaster

[fai]

hi, im interested in using a baitcaster, but im not that sure which to get.. i thought of getting a affordable ( less than $100) and good..
so is thre any recommendations?

[limfish]

well...i bought the last 6000 tokushima baitcaster at $75-$80=P
But at joe they still have lots of low profile=)
They are good for luring and shallow fishing.
But first u must know how to use one or else, u will regret it.

[limfish]

oh yes go to joe and ask them to teach u.
They r great sifus=)

[fai]

im thinking of using that for like, maybe kelongs and boats.

[limfish]

wah then jialat liao...
must go to other shops.
u can use low profile but...
lesser line is very risky.
unless use for todak or sumthing like tht.

[fai]

icic.. then do you guys have any other recommendations nt? cos recently i went changi and found this surecatch commander if im nt wrg, but someone told me it wasent that good. cos after sometime of usage it will give way.

[limfish]

Thank goodness u nvr buy.
Surecatch is not such a good quality brand.

[Peace]

Do you already have a rod that you're going to pair it with? If so, do state the brand and model.

[fai]

actually no.. its jst some cheap rod uh.. pro-tech classic spin pt-cs703-2s

[Peace]

So are you going to pair the rod with this pioneer rod or getting a new one? If you want to pair it with this pioneer rod, it would be helpful if you can state the specs of the rod, ie. length, line strength, etc. I can't find the specifications online.

[fai]

oh sorry.
line wt 10-25lb
length 2.10m
2sec
does tht helps bro?

[Peace]

Yes that does help. Firstly, this rod is suitable for kelong fishing as well as light boat fishing although the length is a little too long to use comfortably from a boat. There was a thread on this startackle site someone posted today and they have abu baitcaster on promotion. The Pro Max is offering at $86 dollars, it's a nice decent reel with 6kg drag that'll match up with that rod.

[fai]

hmm, thanks bro for the reccomendations..
do you have any contacts for pr kelongs not? cos i tried calling one but i cant get tru at all..

[Peace]

Sorry, I do not have any contacts. About your rod, are you sure it is a baitcast model because you shouldn't use a baitcast reel on a spinning rod.

[fai]

its a spinning reel rod actually.. hw much does it cost for the baitcast rods uh?
