G'day fellas - was looking at a new rod with Xmas coming up :). I'm after something for plastics fishing for flatties etc from a kayak in places like pumicestone passage. The one I was checking out was the wilson live fibre lightning, its 7foot and 2-4kg. Would this be a decent rod for the job? Need something with a bit of backbone for when the fish come up close to the yak, but light enough to make it fun

cheers

G'day

I have that exact rod, coupled to a 2500 sedona.... 8lb fireline and i'm in love ;)

I have connections, so I got it for $73, and a second for $55.......

cheers lads

I dont have connections - but then I'm not paying this time ;)

Good to be able to buy aus -made as well. Already got a light surf from wilson and just had a little whiting rod of theirs stolen, so time to add another to the collection
