the best one for the price would be the softest soft bait rod you have already...... sry but really..... specific inchiku sets...  Oh n after that I better go get a specific micro jig set, n a specific slow/fluttery jig set etc etc etc etc....  ------------- I always tell the truth about things that never happened |

Second the calcutta 200d and jigwrex. That is an awesome set, which will do inchiku's, flutter / slow pitch jigs (up to 120gms), also good for kabura's. I have one, and I even use it for micro jigs, the calcutta is actually quite castable too.

Agree that a spin rod with a soft action works well. If you want overhead, I bought a Smiths rod off the forums, and a Calcutta 200d. Works very well, but I haven't had the chance to catch much on it yet. |

| I find spin great for softbaits but definately overhead for Inchiku. I use okuma nano matrix 100 for micro jigs and light inchiku and synit Bay Hunter razar light for heavier inchiku and knife jigs. Both teamed up to an pimped okuma komodo 274 |

I was wondering the same thing. Would quite like a trini 12 but not sure i can justify it and the metaloid looks like a good alternative but can't find any thorough reviews on them

They are basically just a slightly stripped back version of the Andros, which have been absolutely bulletproof, so these should be the business too. Helical cut stainless internals, carbon drags factory greased with Cals Grease, one piece machined alloy frame, pretty hard to go wrong for the money

Cheers, that's the impression I got from the specs, just needed someone to confirm the performance matched the looks. As much as I would like a Maxel F30CH, its probably a bit out of my price range (esp when I need to add a rod to it). I can get the Metaloid 5NS on a Nano for $400 so that could be the go ------------- “My biggest worry is that my wife (when I’m dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.” |

I have much the same rig - same rod but with a Quantum Accurist PT bait caster on it. Very happy with my set up. I have several medium to lower priced bait casters, but this one is my absolute favourite. ------------- Semper in excreta sumus, solum profundum variat.... |
