I’ve got a Zenaq Sonio 100M which is a beautiful rod to use and would recommend to anyone looking for something to yeet slugs.

Daiwa Seabass or Abu Garcia Veritas is around that price I think.

Re: 9ft light rod for casting slugs
Good post mate, perfect timing with the buzz around salmon!
I'm looking to pick up something similar and was learning towards something with a longer butt and wrap.
Penn Allegiance II is currently what I'm considering, ~$110-120,
ROD LENGTH: 9'
NUMBER OF PIECES: 2
ROD POWER: Medium Light
LINE RATING: 8-12kg
LURE RATING: 20-70g
Thoughts?

Re: 9ft light rod for casting slugs
I am hoping to get one a bit lighter, the Veritas looks good as does the Catana. I am currently using a Rovex 8'6 Egi rod because it is light and strong enough to handle decent fish, I wiil have a look over the next few days and see what I come up withAndrews wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 3:32 pmGood post mate, perfect timing with the buzz around salmon!

Re: 9ft light rod for casting slugs
All good mate, it's hard to know sometimes thats for sure!
One that I am also considering is the Daiwa Arid 20 AIRD-X 902MFS so I can still do plastics and metals
Spin 2 9'0"/274cm Medium Fast 14-45g 5-9kg 15669 $109.00
Is that more like it?
