hi glen, i bought the gladiator rod today. I also bought a shimano symetre 2500 with it. The rod is medium action, 2 piece and 7'2''. I have to give them credit it feels great to use, really light and nice balance, and the real is fantastic. I was tying the jig onto the main line braid, but it didnt feel good, so i tied a polycarbon leader and tied the jig onto that, and it felt much better. Do you think it would be a good idea to connect the main line and leader via swivel, or do you think i should take the time to join them with a knot?
i went squiding tonight to try the rod out, the squids were small and slow to bite. I was fishing the lilli pilli area. I might go to La parouse tomorow, to test out the gear, hope i catch something.
