Vanbassin Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Hi Guys I want to get a Decent Punching set up as my current one is just not sufficient, please any suggestions on a whole new set up will be welcome? Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted January 12, 2015 Super User Posted January 12, 2015 Need a budget to work with. In general a h fast action rod. Your choice of length with a 7 to 1 reel or faster. Quote
Vanbassin Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 No budget, I want a beast of a set up! Brands, specs etc please guys, will be very helpful!! Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 How about a 966 telescopic XH-Mod-F 3/8-2oz spiral wrapped, Fuji Alconite Guides, burl cork grip of custom dimensions paired with a Revo SC (custom red color from Cabelas) or 4600C3 with backing ready to be spooled with your brand of braid. PM me if you want to talk. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Powell Max Mag Bass casting 8'0" mag Heavy Punching/Flipping rod or Duckett White Ice Terry Scroggins Casting Rod 7'8" XX-Heavy Punching/flipping Rod with a TWS Daiwa Zillion. $500 at base price or you could shop around and buy either combo for around $380 Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I bought a legend extreme LXC711HMF 7'11" H Mod. Fast 1 14 - 30 1/2 - 2 Reel was a Lews Tournemant Pro. This rod works great for the type of punching I do. It also doubles as a frog rod and swim bait rod. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted January 12, 2015 Super User Posted January 12, 2015 St. Croix LTB 7'9" H/MF paired up with a Revo Beast and minimum of 50 lb braid. Quote
bigfishbk86 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 For the rod, i would go with a Dobyns 6 Power, 746 or 766. For the reel i would get a TWS Zilllion 9.1 ratio. 65lb 832 and you'll be all set! Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 12, 2015 Super User Posted January 12, 2015 The one I use I can't even get anymore or find. Quantum Tour Tactical "Hack Attack 7'11"H Mod action with a *** *** 8.1:1. But then depending on the thickness I also have a 7'11" HXF Black *** with a EXO 100 7.3:1. Different action and works for baits up to 3/4oz. If heavier I'll switch to the other. Quote
Vanbassin Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 I will have a look at all the suggestions, thanks guys, cant wait to go shopping!!! Quote
kikstand454 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 On the cheaper side of things. .... I use a 7'11" Abu veritas and an old blue quantum tour pro. It is a beast and light enough to work all day ( that's an assumption, I havent flipped an entire day with it yet) . I have an older daiwa rod and reel that I use for 'light" flipping. (3/4-1oz- smaller baits- bb crickets, tubes, etc) You may find you want/need two rigs. I did. Quote

Vanbassin Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Guys, I have decided on a punching set up, it will be a Duckett Set up, Rod and reel, but the only agent in South Africa only stocks certain models and they cant get the set up that I want, any suggestions what I could do to get this set up?
