hi all just enquiring about the rod snyder glas s138 6 wrap. its called {tailor 6} built for anglers warehouse tweedheads.it is rated 7-9 kg, 20-80g weights. my query is it has an oversize steel guide like made for alveys but is mid mounted reel seat. i have a pfluegar medilist 6060hs 6.3-1 high speed reel to use.running 20
pnd mono.its not to light but i dont mind lookn like popeye after every sesh.
is this adequate for spinning metals and poppers off breakwalls and surf and baiting for jews.any 1 familliar with this rod?
I have the "raider" version of the same rod, 13'6, with an alvey butt, with the rod seat close to the bottom of the rod. I use an overhed (shimano tld star)on mine with platypus low stretch 20lb mono.
Its a new rod as I didnt want to miss out when I saw it in mossops at the gabba and I found out that snyder were not going to produce any more rods.
I have only used it twice and so far its the business, you should have no problems casting a slug on it at all.
What got me interested in the rod was a mate of mine who I beach and rock fished with for years bought one.
After he bought it I swear his catch rate improved markedly. I have seen him pull in kingies, Aust samon, snapper etc from the rocks from where we used to fish off the south coast of NSW, no jewies but the rod never seemed to struggle.
I think you have bought a good all round rod, that will serve you well for years.
thanks for the good report on my investment.it feels like a great rod and im hounered to obtain one before there retierd. now its time to go and chase a few monsters around the seaway.any idea of the main species to be chasing at this time of the year?
I use exactly the same combo as Gezza, also with a TLD 15 Star
loaded with 8kg braid.
This rod has landed heaps of Bull sharks around the 50kg mark with ease in the Maroochy river. It will certainly do abything you plan on doing without raising a sweat.
Snyder rods are tops in my book! Hope you enjoy yours.
