Tyrnos 20 and T Curve Rod Purchase

[fishenmick]

I am currently in Iraq with the Australian Army and want to buy a Tyrnos 20 and a matching 10-15kg T-Curve rod. I have looked on the internet and of the few sites I have found the best price is $450 and $30 postage and handling. It seems like a good price but want to know if this is the current price. I will be home in about four weeks, but I want to order one now over the internet and have it at home when I get there so I can set it up and get on the water ASAP. Plus I want to order it before the missus changes her mind and says no :(. I am in the Brisbane area.

Any help would be appreciated.

regards, Mick

get in contact with sundown marine on the board, they had a special running on these and may be able to sort one out, i think around $229 so there are some big savings to be had at present

I got one and have it matched to a wilson 10-15kg live fibre and its an awesome combo, very happy with it

10-15kg t curve tyrnos medium - $189 bcf.

G'day breama
Could you elaborate on that combo? That sounds too cheap even for just the reel. What is a medium tyrnos anyway? a 20 or 30?

he's referring to the tyrnos rod, they're a good trolling rod but I much prefer the live fiber 10-15kg for everything else which can still troll quite well

Thanks Az, you think the Tyrnos Live Fibre rod is not as good as the Wilson for jigging and a general all rounder? I will try to get some more info before I purchase the rod I think. Certainly want something that can do it all.

Thanks, Mick

the tyrnos (shimano not live fibre - sorry to confuse) rod would probably be ok for jigging and an allrounder, all depends how much jigging you intend to do, i can still jig with mine (wilson live fibre 10-15kg) troll and its great for feeling bites bottom bashing. There are plenty of good rods to match the tyrnos to, get the tyrnos then fit it to a few different rods till you find one you really feel comfortable with and suits your requirements, for me it was the live fibre

HI mick ur price sounds good. 8-)
I have 3 live fibre rods and have just purchased a t-curve for jigging.
I feel the t-curve will fullfil ur needs they are great.
Nice and light nice & easy to grip super strong ,power to burn.
IF I had to only take a few rods on a trip it would the first rod packed ;)

Thanks Brrbear,

I appreciate all the advice and have been offered some great prices by the mart and also Sundown. I am thinking I will go with two setups.

2 x Tyrnos 20s and either th T-Curve or Live Fibre or one of each. Will need to look at and feel the rods when I get back. Only a week to go.

Regards,

Mick
