Steve S Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I am in the market for a spinning rod that will handle casting lures in the approx 40 to 90g range. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry.shutter Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I have been using Majorcraft for lure work and have to say they are excellent. Not cheap but also not silly. Happy hunting. Steve S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks Jerry, I took a look at the Majorcraft range, there didn't appear to be anything suitable for handling lures in the 40g to 90g range, except for 1 slow jigging rod. Quite pricey too at £150 and upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hi Steve, Have a look at the Berkley Naumad travel rod - heavy spinning travel rod, 4-piece, 80g casting weight. http://www.berkley-fishing.co.uk/berkley-rods-spinning-rods-berkley-naumad/berkley-naumad-casting-travel/1454122-0300.html Can double up as a holiday rod for barracuda, bluefish, trevally, etc. I won a Shimano 8000-sized reel a few years ago that I've struggled to find a use for, and it makes a good pair.

great white Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hi Steve I presume that it is a travel rod you are after. I use a Shimano up to 100g , I could let you have the details if you like Mine is the 3 mtr one and a tad long, I borrowed Dan's 2.7 this year for Norway and it had a better balance.

Steve S Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Many thanks for all the input, I was looking for a lure rod for the boat to handle better some of the heaver lures I've been chucking around.
