Yeah, once I get the rod I'll need to start looking for a charter boat to go out on so I can attempt to get my first Kingfish! Any suggestions on which charter? I'm based in Tauranga.

Yeah, you have a point there mate. I think I may need to have another combo or rod for snaps and KY and just use the stella with a JM then save up for the stick bait rod.

My only concern with the PE 1.5-4 is that'll be a bit overkill for KY and snaps compared to the PE 1-3? I've never jigged before either.]]> Mon, 02 Dec 2013 15:49:58 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96363&PID=1382535&title=rod-for-stella-5k#1382535 <![CDATA[Rod for Stella 5k : Fishthat wrote:The Sabre game...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96363&PID=1382461&title=rod-for-stella-5k#1382461 Author: Legacy

thats what I'd get and put pe3 on the 5000, had a similar combo but with a synit , caught big snapper / small kingis beautifully. Jigging and bait fishing usually about the 50 m range . Then aim to get one of those JM stickbait rods Big smile ]]> Mon, 02 Dec 2013 11:07:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=96363&PID=1382436&title=rod-for-stella-5k#1382436
