x2 Daiwa Black Widow Twin Tips (12ft - 1.75lb) on the way, I watched a video (I bought into the marketing) of a guy coping pretty well on the tidal trent with these rods and for the price, and Daiwa... I was sold.
I won't be doing a lot of tidal trent fishing, but knowing that I "could" with these rods - at a push, is nice to know.
I think I'm probably gonna go Daiwa Black Widow for the rest of the set up now, considering it's all from scratch, most importantly I need to find a Daiwa Black Window 3 rod pod, stock seems scarce at the moment, I'm hunting for that £60 sale price, would be very happy with that.
1 thing I'm debating with myself is reel selection, I've got a Shimano Baitrunner ST RB 6000 sitting around. I'm not sure if I should just get another one of these or not -
I'm thinking if I pick up a couple of deadbait rods for the winter then these will come in handy -
But I'm half tempted by 4000 size Shimano Baitrunners with the front drag, which will be a bit less useful for that deadbait setup I've got in mind for the future... decisions decisions, there's also the Daiwa Black Widow BR 5000, designed specifically for these rods.
Anyway, I'm well and truly in the process of preparing to get into some Barbel...
What are your bank side must-haves?
What's your favourite bait?
What's your favourite rig?
What's your take on optimal reels?
I'm excited!!!
