Please Help - Rod for Saros 4000f

Hi,

was chasing whiting and flathead over the weekend and realised i have a gap in my fishing arsenal.

the saragosa 8000 and deep jig 200 was a bit overdone for the task.

picked up a Saros 4000f reel with 15lb braid and now looking for a rod.

had a look at the 7foot 2 terez today, bit unsure about the balance. 

anyone have any constructive advise that will give me additional rods to investigate.

and yes i have tried the search function with no help.

Thanks

PG

I can't help mate, but I do have a similar problem.

I have a stradic ci4 4000 that is matched perfectly with a 9ft catana. Great for baitcasting gardies & throwing plugs off the beach.

Problem is I need a 5-6ft rod so I can use it on the boat & Ive no idea what to buy.

My problem is solved, thanks for your suggestions.

I picked up a Berkley DIABLO 6ft 1piece. Not had chance to use it yet, but feels well balanced.

Diablo??

Tue, 2012-03-20 20:27

Fisherking,

where did you score the Diablo and how much? I'm interested to see one.

I have had an interesting few weeks wating for the reel to arrive.

Bought the saros off ebay $120 delivered.  paid for it, 10 days later i email the seller asking for tracking number.  They tell me its out of stock and offer a technium as an alternative.  i notice they also sell the saragosa 4000f and ask for that or a refund.

sure thing they say and 2 days later they say its shipped.

next day I receive an email from ebay saying the seller has been removed from ebay and to now take the appropriate steps through paypal to retrieve my money. i email the seller and no reply.

shit shit shit is all i can think.

lodge a claim with paypal and waiting waiting waiting. 

in the mean time I've bought a shimano raider mexican fire 7ft. still no reel for it.

over 4 weeks now gone and still no reel and money back from paypal. 

cant wait any longer, so jump in the car 8am saturday and buy a stradic 5000fj. very happy with the reel and the white body looks great on the red rod.

now 3 days later what should come in the mail.............a saragosa 4000f!!!

I'm not complaining and the  Mrs isnt asking too many questions.

but here i am again, need another rod now for either a saragosa 4000f or a stradic 5000fj.

i'm liking the idea of the 6foot rod, so any info you can provide would be great.

cheers

Picked it up from Jet cycles

Tue, 2012-03-20 20:39

Picked it up from Jet cycles in Gosnells.
I think it was the last one.

It's pretty stiff & I've been using it on the boat with bigger plastics. Still hasn't had a decent fish on it but it looks bling.
& only $100.
