    Maybe worth getting the combo for $25 more?

    • froogletom on 14/05/2022 - 13:09

      maybe the rods not worth $25

        I mean, I doubt that. It might not be an amazing rod, but it'll do as a backup, or if you have kids and don't want to risk losing one of your better rods.

        • hitman48 on 14/05/2022 - 13:22

          thats a good point

    • hitman48 on 14/05/2022 - 13:18

      yeah from the comments the rod are to weak and keep breaking

      • eciuj on 14/05/2022 - 18:19

        If I was guessing I’d say people new to graphite rods and were high sticking it. Graphite aren’t indestructible like fibreglass rods.

    • demere on 14/05/2022 - 15:03

      the combo does not come with 5000 series reel, probably only 4000

  • ShotzzXII on 14/05/2022 - 13:09

    is this reel even worth it?

    • hitman48 on 14/05/2022 - 13:22

      looked at reviews on youtube and people say they bulletproof and as the hagane gearing , the only reason its on clearance is the new sahara is out with jst a couple of improvement that aint worth going for the new one at $149

    • neofelis on 14/05/2022 - 14:59

      It's a nasci without the special coated seal which 'prevents' water getting inside. So yes and no. No reel is saltwater proof like Shimano claim.

      Shimano are getting really expensive. I once got nasci for $79

  • parker2004au on 14/05/2022 - 13:09

    $20 more and you can pair it with a graphite rod as well which isn't too bad.

  • aec on 14/05/2022 - 13:50

    As an absolute beginner (in Sydney), what should I choose? Ideally it’s a relatively “compact” in size.

    • Rod M on 14/05/2022 - 13:56

      3000 size, and spool it with 10-12lb braid

    • parker2004au on 14/05/2022 - 18:45

      I'm a beginner. I prefer light setup 1-3kg rod and 2500 size reel with some soft plastics, takes up minimal room in car and can go out on a whim when near a body of water, or before/after work. Can still catch bigger fish but you gotta be more careful/mindful when deciding how to get them upn

  • Luc on 14/05/2022 - 14:55

    Can only see the 5000 on special. They may have sold out of the other sizes, a search only shows the new FJ series.

    Ah, found the smaller sizes, wasn't trying hard enough.

    • hitman48 on 14/05/2022 - 14:57

      good stuff

      • Luc on 14/05/2022 - 15:01

        Actually I was just clicking through too quick. My local store is closed due to going under in the flood and the next closest is out of stock of the small sizes and it's click+collect with no delivery option if I've read it right.

        • hitman48 on 14/05/2022 - 15:04

          im in wa so might be different i can get all of them delivered apart from the 2500 size

            @hitman48: Yeah it must be different for you guys. Nevermind, next time. I don't need it of course but you can never have enough reels or rods can you :-)

  • BigDadda on 14/05/2022 - 22:09

    For a beginner who hasn't fished since I was a kid what would be a suitable rod to pair with this for shore fishing??

    Cheers

    • derpderpderp on 14/05/2022 - 23:53

      for a beginner i wouldn't look at the 5000 reel (but pair it with at least 4-8kg rod if you are still adamant on getting it)

      would recommend the 2500 or 3000 reel and pair it up with a 2-4 or 3-5kg 6ft6 to 7ft rod with 8lb to 12lb line (I recommend getting braid for your main line)

      hope that helps

      • MangoUbe on 16/05/2022 - 11:16

        hi just curious. why does the reel matter on your experience level?

        • derpderpderp on 16/05/2022 - 16:41

          Hi, what do you mean why does the reel matter?

          matter as in difference in size of reels?

          Difference in size = bigger spool, which means more and heavier line you can spool with.

          Which makes it easier to land bigger fish.

          It all depends on what fish you are targeting. You can catch big fish with the smaller reel sizes but it's a higher risk as you'll be using lighter lines.

          Hope that makes sense.
