Hello All -

I have a Daiawa RG3000H-AB that I got for free with a purchase I made on Tackle Direct. My question to all of you is what rod should I pair it with? I primarily fish for Bass and recently have been getting into Salt Water, but from my research this will not do well with Salt. Below I have included what I currently have as far as rods and reels for freshwater and saltwater, what do you think would be a good addition? Looking to spend $200 at most, but if it is worth it could go a little over.

Freshwater Gear:

·       Daiwa Tatula SV TW 7.3 on a Dobyns Sierra Series SA 703 C

·       Pfleuger Supreme XT 30 on a Fenwick HMG 6’6” Medium Fast

·       Pfleuger Supreme XT 25 on a Field & Stream Tec-Lite 6’ Ultra Light

Saltwater Gear:

·       Daiwa Ballistic LT4000D-C on a St. Croix Mojo Inshore 7’ Medium Heavy

·       ODM DNA 10’ Surf Rod I ordered a Tsunami SaltX 6000 to pair with this, but still waiting on delivery

Open to opinions on a comparable reel to order at this point

While the reel isn't "ideal" for hardcore saltwater use, you can still use it in the salt. Just make sure to clean the reel after use. This Daiwa is comparable in size/use to your Pflueger XT 30 size reel.

 

So, you can put it on a 6'6 or 7' freshwater spinning rod of your liking, be it a Dobyns, Fenwick, St Croix, G Loomis, etc.

Or, if you fish back bay saltwater for flounder, weakies, schoolie stripers, cocktail blues, etc, it will do just fine in the bay paired on a 7-7'6 "inshore" style spinning rod. If you live in the south, it can be used for seatrout, spanish macks, and smaller redfish.

 

You could put that Daiwa on a:

7' St Croix Tidemaster TIS70MF    - $180

7'6 Shimano Teramar TMS76MH   - $120

7' Tsunami Carbon Shield TSCSHDII701M  - $120

 

All would do the trick for inshore/ shallow water bay fishing.
