Fishing the Lakes and Rivers – Freshwater or Saltwater
When fishing the lakes and rivers with one of our Daiwa inshore fishing rods for sale you are likely to encounter several species that we are blessed with in this nation. All rods we sell in this category are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fishing in lakes, rivers, dams, bays and any other imaginable place where heavy tackle is not a necessity. Below is a few of the most common species we find in Australia that are highly targeted that can be targeted on light-medium tackle.
Daiwa Bream Rods: Bream are distributed throughout Australia but not more so than that of the east cost of Australia. They are a highly targeted species commonly found in inshore grounds. Some of the favourite locations to target bream are in rivers, lakes and around structure in harbours and if fishing in one of these locations we find that gearing yourself up with a light rod around 1-3kg, 2-4kg or thereabouts will position you well on your way to being able to cast light lures and baits for this highly prized competition and table fish. The best sized Daiwa spin reel is usually a 2004, 1000, 2500 or 2500 sized fishing reel matched with a rod between 6-8ft in length.
Daiwa Bass Rods: Australian bass are also one of the most highly sought-after freshwater fish these days in Australia. More so in recent years as now everyone is on their way to becoming an expert before they have even caught their first bass thanks to the power of social media, online videos, articles and online satellite maps all of which have made it too easy for any angler to find and hone in on what looks to be the ideal bass creek. The internet has also allowed an angler to be well versed on what lures to purchase and when to use those lures.
It’s great to see many young anglers taking up the Bass fishing passion. There is nothing more thrilling and relaxing at the same time than going for an afternoon bass session but of course you need the right gear and from our range of Daiwa inshore fishing rods. You will be ideally looking for a rod around 6-7ft in length rated no more than 5-kg (anywhere from 2-5kg is ideal). You’re fishing snaggy and tight territory so keep your rod no longer than 7ft .Once you have your chosen rod, pair with a 2000-2500 sized reel and spool with 4-8lb line class.
Daiwa Perch Rods (Yellowbelly, Silver and Redfin): We follow the footsteps of bass rods here. Your looking for a rod around 7ft in length and rated approximately between 2-5kg. Though with some of these perch species such as yellowbelly, you might be tossing out larger jackall vibes or spinnerbaits etc. So, just pay attention to the casting weight of the rods, if this info is available. Try and look for a fishing rod that matches the average weight of the lures you will be casting. Reel size will generally be around a 2000-3000 size reel.
Daiwa Trout Fishing Rods: Yes, we most definitely cannot forget about trout. And we have plenty of Daiwa trout rods for sale in our Daiwa inshore fishing rods range. Often, we sell plenty rated around 1-3kg rods for those who target small sport sized trout in streams but generally a rod rated up to 5kgs or thereabouts is the ideal all-round. On a light Daiwa 1-3kg class rod you could use around a 1000-2004 size reel or if you opt for a rod rated say around 2-5kg a 2000-2500 size reel is optimal.
Daiwa Flathead Rods: What can’t you catch a flathead on? They are one of the most popular and highly targeted fish in Australia and can be caught from a boat offshore and land on boat based in saltwater lakes, beaches and rivers. You can get them on heavy gear, light gear and everything in between but generally if you want to sport fish for flathead on light flesh baits or lures such as soft plastics, blades, vibes or hardbody divers then you want the correct gear to give you the best performance and responsive actions. We suggest a Daiwa fishing rod rated anywhere up to the 6kg mark (but preferably between 2-5kg is the ideal range, especially in rivers and lakes) 7ft or thereabouts makes the ideal length for inshore lake and river fishing, matched with a 2500 size fishing reel and spooled up with 6-10lb braided line with an 8-10lb fluorocarbon leader.
