The Sakana II light spin combo is perfect for fishing estuaries for all your typical smaller estuary species like bream, flathead, tailor, silver trevally etc. It's easy to use, lightweight, and the perfect matchup to handle most estuary species. The Shimano Sentire Sakana II combos are high-quality Shimano combos designed and built in collaboration with Tackle World and Shimano pro anglers to suit a wide range of Australian conditions. It's a far better-than-average quality outfit with an affordable price.
As I said, the Shimano Sentire Sakana II 682 is ideal for general estuary fishing conditions and species. It could be used effectively for both bait and lures due to its composition and action. It's built on a high-quality 24 ton Toray graphite blank, which is lightweight, super responsive and very sensitive to vibrations so you don't miss a bite. The guides are the latest tangle-free Fuji Fazlite K Frame guides: strong, super smooth and durable. The butt section is a custom EVA split butt built for comfort and performance especially when working lures and soft plastics. It has a medium-fast taper which is ideal to suit a bigger mix of fishing types. This means when the rod is loaded up i.e. a fish is on, the rod bends in the top half/third of the rod, giving it plenty of sensitivity and action up the light end, but still holding a lot of power down the bottom of the rod so you can fight bigger fish with no dramas.
The Shimano Nexave FI Spin Reel series sees some very welcome upgrades that help build upon its quality reputation of a reel for those looking for decent performance on a budget. The reels feature Shimano's Propulsion Line Management System which makes them suitable for fishing with both mono and braided line. The specially designed angled spool lip allows the line to leave the spool in smaller coils with less friction, to make longer and more accurate casts, and also minimise wind knots with braid. The Shimano Nexave FI reels also feature Shimano's G-Free Body technology, which benefits anglers with less fatigue and enhanced casting comfort by shifting the centre of gravity closer to the angler's hand. Whether you're chasing your first fish or a new PB inshore or even off the boat along the coast, there'll be a Nexave FI spin reel for you.
The smaller 4kg drag is much better suited to light estuary fishing as you can make much finer adjustments to the drag before and during a fight i.e. turning the drag knob on this reel doesn't change the drag setting by much in comparison to reels with more drag. The 6.0:1 gear ratio is nice and quick, which is good for getting the fish away from structure like tree branches, oyster leases, wharf pylons etc once they're hooked.
