Ring Leon on 075434416 Tauranga He builds 'OFFSHORE' rods and has a 24/37kg model for stick baits Got a couple on the boat I like them work the smaller baits like  ''Smith baby runboh'' better than the Shimano pencil which I have on the boat as well. Aggree with Marx the handle on the Shimano is a little long but that can be remied. It does however have more bottom end lifting power than the offshore.]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:27:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66607&PID=951304&title=which-rod#951304 <![CDATA[Which Rod? : Custom ]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66607&PID=951265&title=which-rod#951265 Author: Xtoad

The offshore popping rods are around $500, Have seen kingies landed up to 32kg landed on them . I preferred it to the Shimano when I used them side by side.]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:52:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66607&PID=951222&title=which-rod#951222 <![CDATA[Which Rod? : Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. So Shimano Pencil Instrument pretty much the starting point huh? Nothing out there under that price that might do the trick? Might have to wait it out a little longer and save, save, save.]]> Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:46:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66607&PID=951217&title=which-rod#951217 <![CDATA[Which Rod? : Caranx pi awesome rod, taking...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66607&PID=950795&title=which-rod#950795 Author: Nomis

I can only put in a plug for the pencil instrument, own it, love it.

The only minus is the length of the butt section, its very long but I'm short at 5'7". I had it shortened by 3 inches........ also don't let 18kg kings flail about and land on it whilst in rod holder, it snaps EmbarrassedLOL

Totally honest though only ever caught one king on it but it was a decent fish at 31kg, was running 9-10kg of drag over it and it folded beautifully but I was careful not to highstick and it still hurt like hell. You can't get away from the fact the rod is over 8ft and the fish has a heap of leverage on you and your back.

Not without trying I haven't been able to find any topwater fish since last November. Its totally different ball game to jigging and I'm still figuring it out.
