http://www.offshorerods.co.nz/elite.html Fish city sell them for around $250. I use the elite 8-10kg 6'6 for slow jigs/softbaits/light straylining. Great rods for the price! ]]> Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:15:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1433232&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1433232 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432916&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432916 Author: Kandrew

I would look a a rod around 7 foot, I have fished slow jigs for years with a 7 foot tcurve and used the same rod for softbait with out a problem. Only got the tcurve revo this year. Nice wee rod but pretty limited.]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:54:20 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432916&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432916 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432901&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432901 Author: the92turtle

yeap bang for bux the okuma nano matrix rods punch well above there weight for sure ,like fishing addicton says ,only thing is a little on the short size for softbaiting IMO but i would probably recommend it as a all rounder also.its what i tell people just getting into softbaiting to get]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 14:12:14 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432796&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432796 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432734&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432734 Author: Fishing Addiction

I got my rod through top catch. Amazing rod. I even prefer it over the likes of shimano jigwrex. Works 20-100g lures best for slow jigging which is the perfect range for the gulf. But have used 150g on it
Can cast 1/4, 3/8ths and 1/2oz fine]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 11:37:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432734&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432734 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432714&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432714 Author: the92turtle

Hi Fishing Addiction

Thanks heaps for the advice, That rod looks very nice, will definitely look into it, where did you get yours from? I will mostly be slow jigging but it depends on the situation you know. ]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:46:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432714&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432714 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432705&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432705 Author: Fishing Addiction

I use the okuma nano matrix 100g rod. Its an amazing slow jig rod, and can cast with it with light soft baits fine. Don't get as much distance as my yeehaa 703/daiwa caldia 2500 combo. So it can do both. Dedicated set ups for both are best but the nano matrix with 200 size reel could work. No need for 20lb braid. Go 10lb for the 200size. I put 200m 10lb sufix 832 which breaks at 28lb....way more than enough strength
Mostly soft bait or mostly slow jig?   ]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:20:29 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432705&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432705 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432669&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432669 Author: the92turtle

In that case, what would be a good rod suited to both slowjigging and softies with a chronarch spooled with 20lb braid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:04:12 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432669&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432669 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432490&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432490 Author: Kandrew

I got one, not good for softbaits because you can't cast far with it.]]> Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:00:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=99987&PID=1432490&title=slowjig-softbait-rod#1432490
