Which Shimano rod for Stella 5000sw
Submitted by BunburyYakfisha on Tue, 2012-01-31 18:28
Hi all...
I poped into bcf today to see what rod will suit the Stella 5000 sw,but the only Shimano rod that looked almost a good fit was
the Shimano terez (15-30lb).I was lookin at rods ranged from 15-30lb.
I like to match all my Shimano reels matched with shimano rods,Any suggestion on a 15-30lb Shimano rod,for a Stella 5000sw
Price range upto $370
Cheers Jesse

Why shimano?
They make nice reels, but most of their rods are a bit ordinary.

PRobably one of the TCURVE range would suit and be my pick if you have to go shimano - I don't think we see the best shimano has to offer though - hint hint

Yea,thought that..
Ive only seen Heavy Blue rose models,and that was a while back..I think the Shimano Jigwreck's took over its place.

Don't restrict yourself to a
Don't restrict yourself to a single brand, just means you might be getting a lower quality product for the sake of a name. I have mine on a smith KGS, very nice rods.

If looking for rod
If looking for rod recommendations should let people know what you want to use it for, but I agree with the people that say - in my opinion buy whichever rod is best for what you want, not which one has a particular brand on it. If that happens to be a shimano then all good!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Terez TZS72MLPW 7'2" Med-Lt/1pc 10-30lb
I have a Stella 5000SW on a Terez 10-30lb with 30lb braid and caught a 50kg Sailfish see the linked post for details http://fishwrecked.com/forum/my-first-sail-fish-war-and-peace
My Terez is by far my favourite rod, they are designed for use with braid to give you the extra flex you would normally get from mono.

I am so the same as people above
Cant go past a shimano with reels, have only got Shim spins,2 Shim OH and 1 diawa OH. As for the rods have mostly settled on Diawa. Wasnt overly impressed with my T Curve Lacunas jig rod (sorry havent got the specs on me at work) so now have mostly got Diawa and samurai.
I dont stick to a brand either, pick whats the best option.

just get a rod that feels
just get a rod that feels right and has a good reputation forget the brand name
i think im going for a jm titaniumn for my new 6000pg
but about $600
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.
