Squid fishing

[Pethrk]

Hi guys, I'm looking at purchasing a new rod for squid.

Was hoping to go and buy a combo from bcf and was hoping if anyone could steer me in the right direction,
Was hoping to spend roughly $150.

Also what line should I have on the reel.

Thanks in advance

Do you just want a rod for 150 and then more for the reel or combo for 150?

Preferably a combo but wouldn't bother me if I went up to $200

If you like to fish for more than just squid go something that's capable for not just squid like the gomoku rods.

I have a 2-4kg shimano I fish series 6,6 rod with a sienna reel.

Do you think that would be okay to use?

You will catch squid on that without a worry. If you are just starting out then have a crack first and see if you like it.

Squid can be caught on just about anything.... a purpose built squid rod is really only needed if you are serious about squidding and wan't to get the most out of your gear.

If it was me I would get out there and have a try first, learn the technique, how to setup your gear, purchase a few jigs and see what you think. If you are doing a bit of it then look at upgrading.

On another note, silstar have a rod for about $100 bucks "Silstar Egiist" which get's a good write up.

Cheers mate I will just give that a shot.

With the rod that I spoke about would that be ideal for whiting aswell?
