5 ft glass rod

[Gummysmasher]

I have a Jarvis walker 5 ft glass rod that is In the 4-10 kg range, any ideas on what I should use it as, jig rod, gummy rod and what reel I should put on it, cheers :water:

I use similar rods for to bait fish for gummies and snapper with a 5000 size reel and 30lb braid.

Probably a good flathead/snapper/gummy rod
4000 size reel with 20 or 30lb braid

Congratulations on your new boat.

Depends how much you want to spend on a reel also.
With the tides and size sinkers you might have to use i would say 4000 nothing below.
I have shimano ax 4000 on my 8kg rod and handle everything fine.
They cost about $40 i think (i only have 1 does the job, good around reel)
Penn spinfisher start aroud $130
If you want spend big shimano stradic 4000 start at $250 (feels like a dream reel since i only ever had cheap stuff) i now have 4. Lol on my 10 to 15kg rods
