Where can I get a specialist egi rod around Bris ?

Hi Guys,

I recently had all of my fishing gear stolen (luckily insured) and among the stolen items was my custom egi rods that I made up for myself. Now i can't replace these as they were one off prototype blanks so until I find some more blanks that will be suitable to build up for egiing as well as finding time to build them, I will be looking to purchase some of the shelf factory jobs.
So I'm wondering where around Brissie can I find some good quality specialist egi rods ? What brands should I look out for and what should I expect to pay ?

Thanks,
Alan

the only place in brisbane that i know that stock dedicated eging rods is Fishhead. I know they have daiwa emeraldas interlines and guided models, daiwa egee, hearty rise egi force type c and yamashita feeling shaft.

out of what they have available id go the emeraldas interline. i just got one recently and im super impressed (but feel guilty putting a shimano on it) i think they are around the $450 mark. as for the others available the hearty rise is nice too for the price (was told about the $250 mark - it hadnt been put on the shelf and tom showed me when boss was busy). I havent felt the egee rod yet so cant comment. and the yamashita are not worth it at all as i think they are a bit too finesse and short.

im sure with your experience with rod building you will be able to pick the right one.

Thanks Andy, I'll go and check them out.

Cheers,
Alan
