[frontflip90]

so I have purchased a daiwa saltist 30 hyper speed overhead and a shimano 10000 saragosa spinner, im gonna run 50lb braid on both and both are going to be used for offsure spinner probly mainly luring for macks and a bit of floating baits out, and the diawa just for bottom bashing, price range im thinking under 200 for both rods. recommendations???

Is that under $200 for each or both?

Tairyo nano rod 10/15kg, 7 foot long, pay about $160. I'm using one of these for reef fishing, very strong,awesome rod.

Personally I would hold off and see if you can throw a few more bucks at the rods. There are some absolute crackers out there for around the $250 mark including the Terez, T-curve and Saltist Demon Blood ranges
I would be looking at something in the 6'-6'6" for the overhead and around 7' for the spinner

I have heard good things about the t curves, do you know why they are so good? cheers

For a cheaper option look at silstar crystal blues in the 6 foot boat range. Come in spinners and overhead. About 160 bucks I think. Tough to get a nice lighter weight muscle rod eg t curve 200 for less than 200 bucks these days I recon.

The t curve 200 deep jig is a brilliant rod IMO. It casts surprisingly well for its length too. I reckon it's worth he extra price bracket. The Fin Nor offshore is also quite nice and a tad cheaper.

The t curve is the worst rod ever made. I know of 4 different people that have all broken their t curves. What makes it worse is that shimano actually replaced them without question.. That's what concreted it for me..
You can add Daiwa monster mesh rods to that list too..
That's just my opinion of course..
Happy hunting...

Yep they will be fine as will the Ugly stick blue water. There's a special on the Tcurve for $225 right now at a certain store so it's a tough call.

Happy with my 2 T curves deep jig 200's I did have a mate break one on a large yellow fin but he had the drag a bit high and the and the rod tip a bit high. It got replaced free of charge though so cant complain.

Re: what rods to buy for saltist and shimano saragosa

yeah the only problem is the saltist overhead is smaller then I thought,its really small in size, and to mount it on an offshore rod seems the rods are all to big for it. im looking for one with a small butt back seems impossible to find but ill keep looking haha
