Sorry for the slow reply, it's been a one of those days at work where you can't get a quiet moment
The shimano 2500/4000 series are exactly what I was looking at last night.
I figured my options were:
-OC
-DL-FB
-ST-FB
The 4000D definitely belongs on that list too
Finding my 10000's way too heavy on lighter rods, so was wondering if anyone might have any lightweight models going / what they'd suggest.
(Ideally, I'm hoping the reels are close to half the weight of the 10000's xtr ra's)
Much appreciated.
Btw, if nobody's intrested by the time you're back I might buy a second spool off you.
(It felt too greedy to call dibs on multiple spools without letting others have a chance 😂)
Hey, thanks for the offer. Someone dm'd me an excellent suggestion of wychwood fltr rods.
80% of our fishing is off the top and they're a slightly lighter test curve, so considering my options atm 🙂
They definitely are beautiful rods, but they're probably a little outside of my price range and still a bit on the big side. Ideally I'm looking for something in either 9 or 10ft because I know my partners waggler/stalking rods fit nicely.
I'm looking for softish rods that are light and easy to transport because I'm trying to start fishing with my Dad regularly like we used to, but my 12's are a squeeze in the car and end up sat on the passengers lap 😂
