Personally I don't use swivels at all stonefish, however after a few drops let your lure hang in the air a bit it should untwist the line if it is excessive, or when changing out lures, run your hand down along the last few meters to the end to untwist that - should be plenty to untwist the braid.
1Daz - MIB certainly has some great rods, I have some, you can also look at the new jig style rods around basically you're looking for a relatively springy action carbon rod for lightweight jigging - tough decisions ay Smile

Hi Kaveman. What rod would you put an oj2000 on for slow pitch jigging? Ive got a 2000p nr doing bugger all. Pretty keen to give the slow pitch a decent shot.... just a little unsure on rods at the mo.


Hi Darren.... not alot of choice here in NZ yet but Synit have a new model out(that new i havent seen them yet). also available is the Black Hole Pioneer B66 H2 MF on Trade Me. This rod is used normally  where you use the rod and reel together not like most slow pitch rods where you aim the rod at the fish and use mostly the reels drag

Completely confused about what rod to use/get now, would like a JM Sabre....but tip not soft enough???? also fish off a ski, so have to think about point loading at the ski to retrieve the fish.
Have been using cheap and nasty rods with success with this style of fishing
404. That’s an error.

The NS Pioneer can take a bit of pressure.. Would still stick well clear of anything near a high stick though.

I have that rod StarnsyWink and it can handle a bit of pressure for sure, also Graeme from Synit has a new model out

All depends on depth and weight of jigs you are using and what species you are chasing. No good getting a light inshore model to chase kingies

We have two models up from the SPM being the SPH and SPXH. If you're planning on regularly chasing Kingies on slow jigs the SPH or SPXH would be the recommended rod in the Synit line up. The SPH is a 110-300g, Max 350g, PE1.5-PE3, Fight Drag 3-7kg Max 10kg from under the arm, The SPXH 150-350g, Max 400g, PE2-PE4, Fight Drag 3-9kg, Max 12kg from under the arm, as tested on Japanese Angler Secrets in Australia by Ben in 250mtrs with a 340g Slow Pitch jig.
