hahaha nice, looks really good mate. i probably have to skills to make a rod but what tools would i need?
It's surprisingly easy to make a rod. You just need a sharp knife for cutting the thread and a rod holding device that doesn't need to be at all fancy!

I used some hot glue to keep the guides in place and a battery BBQ rotisserie from Bunnings $30 for drying the resin evenly. All of this info is on many Youtube channels.

In my opinion, the Nexave are much better than the Sienna for just a little extra, so that's a yes. The rods are pretty good for the price. Very nice entry level combo for finesse fishing

Those rods are just rebadged for Anaconda Maikuro II rods. The seaguides are ok, but they don't hold a candle to a Fuji. And the blanks are decent, but lack a little sensitivity compared to others marginally more expensive (I sure as **** wouldn't spend the $130 or whatever they normally want). The reel is decent, nothing special. It's a Sedona with a different paint job essentially.

If the $170odd isn't your absolute Max budget I'd seriously look at spending an extra $60odd and going for a Daiwa TD Hyper 603LFS or Atomic Arrowz AAS-260SUL rod and pair it with either a Shimano Nasci FC or a Daiwa Exceller LT in the 1k size.

As cobby said I'd look at a different rod, if you can wait for them to be discounted there the atomic arrows are a great value rod and would be my pick in that price range but the td hypers are a nice stick too

i couldnt find the atomic arrowz aas 260sul,but i had a look at the range and this looked pretty good: https://www.anacondastores.com/fishing/ ... 8275-black

iv looked at the Nasci fg before so that might be an option.

thanks

Have you chosen not to go with the baitcaster now?
