  1. Hi guys

     

    I am looking to purchase a new swimbait rod, now I dont know if you guys know but we arent spoilt for choice when it comes to Swimbait Tackle in South Africa. Now one of our better local tackle shops sell Cashion Rods, I know of them, never used them. They have a Cashion Elite Swimbait Rod, Specs 7'11", Mod Fast, XH 17-80, 1-4oz. Any comments on this rod? And then I can also get a 13 Fishing, 8ft H, Fast, 4-8oz. Which one would you rate is the better one, obviously the two are different and will have different applications. Im looking for a rod to throw bigger glide baits on.

  2. I would get the catala 200 because the diawa millionaire i had did not last long before it started to come apart. I use dit for light saltwater fishing which didnt help but it felt cheap and poorly made. I'd recommend you ask to feel them and see what you prefer

    Hi Massbass10, I felt both of them and I tend to agree with you, the Catala did def feel a lot better, the Millionare felt cheaply made.

  3. Hi Guys

     

    Hope you all well? I wanted to ask, what would be your go to soft plastic swimbaits, size, shape, make and what do you think makes a good soft plastic swimbait? If you have pics of your favourite soft palstic swimbaits, please post them and tell me what you like most about that bait? Im fairly new to the swimbait thing so I would just like to get everyones opinion.

     

    Thanks Guys

  4. My opinion is , I only use braid on my swimbait setups, I use Sunline SX1 30-50lb and I fish some of the clearest waters in South Africa and, I always catch fish, I also fish dirty water, no issues. About it being noisy, Im not sure as I think that will depend on what make braid you use, but I really dont think it will make a huge difference. Thats just my two cents worth, I am fairly new to the swimbait game, but I have only had luck with swimbaiting, maybe Im just lucky!! Hahaha!! :mrgreen:
