Anyone recommend a rod for lures in the 3/15 gram range. Tried all over for a Daiwa samurai with no luck.

The best I ever found in the budget range was the Ron Thompson Gladiator. IM8 carbon two piece blank and one I dont think I'll ever sell.
Sadly not made any more, but you might talk to Glasgow Angling Centre where I got my one from, there may be a newer Ron Thompson alternative. Don't be put of by the cheap price, these rods just make Loomis and St Croix look absurdly expensive. If you want the best, then a Kistler Helium LTA will cost you about £200 from the factory in Texas including post, VAT, tax. Sorry JK ya beat me to it. [ 29.

Thanks for the help lads. Glasgow Angling sell a Ron Thompson Xcite, new version of the Steelhead. I have settled on one of the Bass Pro rods from Lure Mania 6 foot one piece 1/8 to 1/2 oz. Hope its ok or i will be shelling out for the Ron Thompson too!

I just checked the range of BassPro rods that LureMania sells. The IM6 you got is an excellent rod.
I have a BassPro shop about 20 minutes from my house and almost all my tackle is from there. Their house brand rods are all good ones. I love the 15lb PowerPro line with the light lures in the weight range you are speaking of. Makes a great combination IMO. http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/reviews/powerpro.htm is a good review of the line written by a US professional bass angler. -------------------- "Democracy dies when the people wanting their government to take care of them outnumber those wanting to take care of themselves." - Author Unknown - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For a selection of lures, reels and other items, visit my eBay shop http://stores.ebay.com/JaNewt-eMart |

Love my Ron Thompson. There was a Samurai in stock at Lathams of 'Otter' Heigham in Norfolk the other day.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the rod Newt, i was a bit worried when i saw how cheap it was on the Bass Pro website! Use Power Pro for all my lure fishing, waiting for some 20lb to arrive which is going on a Shimano Exage 1000RA, that arrived today and is very nice. Can't wait!!
