a friend recommended major craft go.emotion rod + shimano curado 51e.. busted my budget like 100%..

Sorry mate i never had any round profile i cant give any advice. My suggestion would have 1 set for baitcasting freshwater(abu black max 2+rod of your preference) and 1 set for seafishing(spinning reel)

thx for the suggestion. might take the 2 set route instead...

cool, maybe then you can share with us what rods and reels that you are going to buy or bought.

another friend of mine donated a set of rod+reel to me today. A lemax red sword and a shimano sahara 750fb

i noticed that the lemax red sword's guide tip is broken, so i think i need to get it replaced. i've searched through youtube and there are few video that teaches you how to do it, so now, all i need to do is get a new tip to replace it.



as for the shimano sahara, it spins well, but most probably gonna send it for a service anyhow.

checking the specs of both rods and reels, it seems that it's a bit mismatched. I got a super light reel matched with a 'heavier' rod.

Lemax Red Sword
Model: RS 66 MFS2
Length: 6'6"
Type: Spinning
Section: 2
Power: M
Action: FAST
Line Test: 8-17LB
Lure Weight: MAX.25g

Shimano Sahara 750FB
Line Capacity (lb/yds): 2/240, 4/120. 6/95
Gear Ratio: 4.7:1
Line retrieve per crank: 22 inches
Weight: 6.9 oz
Bearings: 3BB, 1RB

Thinking of matching the Sahara 750FB with a MajorCraft BassPara BPS-662L rod. The rod will cost me RM190.50.

And perhaps get another reel to match the Lemax. ORRRRRRRRRRR.... straight away go heavy duty and get a Shimano Curado 51E @ RM585 + MajorCraft Go.Emotion GEC-63ML／632ML Rod @ RM355.

decisions..decisions... why can't the fund be unlimited......

Please give me some recommendations for a 2000 or 2500 spinning reels.

My budget is around RM120, i might be able to stretch it but depends on this yrs Ang Pau. lol

Is Abu Garcia Cardinal any good ? I forgot the exact model already but it costs RM118 in my local tackle shop

The lemax is a good rod, just fix the guide and you'll have a good saltwater rod. But i would get another reel, a casting reel that can fit 200m and above of 20lbs braided line. Saltwater resistant is of cos an added value.

a spinning reel that can fit 200m and above of 20lbs braided line.. hmm... as braided is thinner than mono, should i be looking at the 4000 series or the the 5000 series or spinning reels? what reel from daiwa/shimano would you recommend?

A daiwa 4000 can fit 300m of 20lbs braided. I have to know your budget and how you would use your reel before i can advise. Do you go seafishing on a boat or kelong? rm 130 reel can sometimes do wonders already

I got my rod tip guide replaced for rm8 at tacklebox@ss15 this afternoon.



Budget should be around rm200 or so. I don't think I have the opportunity to fish by boat yet. Even if I did, it won't be anywhere deep.

RM 200 range im not so sure, i dont have researched any of that price. For a start check out the shimano aernos, or the daiwa regal

ok thanks.

anyone bought from www.tackledirect.com before?
