Nice review mate. I went with the Major Craft Triple Cross TCX-1062HH (not listed in your review) as a backup rod to my Apia spinning rod targeting big 50-70cm mangrove jacks, medium size GT’s and grouper off the rocks. Till next tide, stay safe out there and keep fishing 👍🏼
I love my daiwa db 962, very good rod for stickbait, only down side is, when you try casting anything over 90, it struggles, it can cast, just not as good, i found sweet spot to be between 50-80grams
If youre pairing your saltiga 14000 with 50-65lbs line (80lbs max) a rod rating to PE6 should be a perfect match. Keen to see what you end up choosing though. 🤙
Hey bro kinda late, but i was thinking of getting a demon blood but not sure which cast weight should i be looking at preferably able to cast 60g jigs and lob a livie if i get the chance. Do u know which model u recommend?
I wouldn't say it's more sensitive. The more expensive 2 or 3 piece rods can be sensitive & strong, but you get what you pay. The 1 piece rods in theory has less points of failure, but we fish land based, so a 1 piece rod will not work for us while travelling.
Great review...expensive though! A lot of rock fishermen these days seem caught up in the expensive world of high end reels, braids, leaders, lures, rods etc...still means more drummer and blackfish for me! Not sure how you run it by the missus though, as everything you use seems a tad expensive??
Hi Frank, you're spot on. My gear is getting more expensive, even though I catch most fish on my Sienna set up 😂... i thinks it's just the feel of having premium gear, but definitely not a necessity.
The Maikuro is a 7 foot rod (10-24kg), too short for rock fishing. It's relatively heavy & doesn't cast well. It's great for its price, but I wanted something nicer.
Most people weigh reels, but forget that the weight of the rod also contributes to how comfortable it is to cast lures all day. So we wanted to test this. Plus the more expensive rod makers always advertise that their rods are strong and light.
selamat hari raya mate (indonesian live in sydney), can you please name good places to go rock fishing in sydney area, I don't mind drive 1 or 2 hours from sydney? I just know brown rock
Thanks Die Li. I suggest you check out my older videos, it shows you how to find all the ledges easily. But please take extra care, as some ledges are more dangerous than others. th-cam.com/video/XGvPcpSEnVU/w-d-xo.html
One of the boys bought one and paired it with his Stradic FL. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/egq93R50tWQ/w-d-xo.html (5:42) It feels really nice in the hand, perfect for jigging, and really good price. I was tempted to get one for myself.
@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew Thanks Bro.I hawe a few zenaq,yamaga,g craft atd but I want to try some of lower price rods...it's more relaxing when you're not watching him put his rod on the rocks :-).And I think very often is unjustified price difference .
I know what you mean, you only really know the benefit once you hook up to a monster. I can tell you, there's a recent video where i hook up to a big kingy off a break wall, and the Zenaq made it fell easy.
Assalamu alaykum brother love your videos man, bro I was confused on what rod to get the seajigger, penn prevail and the demon blood but after watching this I made up my mind, THE DEMON BLOOD IT IS lol, only thing I’m stuck on now is Daiwa saltist ltd or shimano saragosa, what size saragosa you recommend for the demon blood
Wa'alaikumussalam... I would love to say the Saltist, but the Saragosa has been a proven for me. The only problem is that it has less drag than the Saltist. I have the 8k & 5k size in the previous model. 5k is great on the Demonblood, but you would struggle on a 80cm+ kingy. Another option is the Penn Slammer 3, some of the boys love it.
@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew thank you heaps brother, I’ve looked at the penn slammers amazing reels with line capacity, I recon to be on the safe side I’ll just go for the saltist and do a full Daiwa combo, I’ve looked at the saltist ltd 5000 it can take 400m of 40lb braid with 10kg drag you recon the 5000 saltist is perfect or go up a size to the 6500?
Just remember that Saltist sizes are not the same as Shimano sizes. The Saltist 5k is the same size as Saragosa 8k. Get ready for summer bro & let us know how you go.
@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew thank you brother yeh I realised when I was comparing the 2 that the sizes are different, tell me about it bro I’m in Melbourne can’t wait for summer and this restrictions to ease so I can go out been stocking up on tackle for months now, I’ll definitely let you know when I get the gear and how it’s running, keep up the good work brother loving it 💪🏼
I highly doubt a mid-range rod is 300 to 500. The way I see rods is entry level is $100 mid-range is 100 to $300 hi and rod is pretty much anything above 300.
Valid point brother. We've had some great rock fishing rods between $100 to $300, but there is then a jump in quality to rods from $300 to $600. Anything above $600 is just luxury 😁
Better Daiwa. Majorcraft breaks too much easily. Las Majorcraft se parten con mirarlas. Je préfère Daiwa. Majorcraft ça casse tout seul. Majorcraft = BadCraft

Great vid lads!
Good choice bro
Still going strong
Great choice mate! 🤙🏼🔥
Thanks mate
mashallah brother nice choice I'm hoping to that one in the overhead let me no how you go with it in Shaa Allah
in Shaa Allah you get that big GT 🐟
awesome! Good choice pal..
Thanks mate

I'm planning to use between 40 to 70 gram lures, so should be perfect. Can't wait to hook up something big with it... ooossttt
Should make more review on your new rods and reel, and also post first fish caught on new rod and reel, keep up the good work mate 💪
@@johnenguyen6420 will do brother... catching the big fish is the hard part 😁
Price?
How is the size difference between the saltiga 10000 and 14000? I can’t decide between the 8000 and the 10000 model
8000, 10000 & 14000 all share the same body, just different size spool. It depends what fish you're targeting & what rod you will be pairing it with.
Awesome! Thanks
Is major craft triple cross is higher than crosstage?
Do you have the website address of this store? want to buy a fishing rod
All the details & links are on the description 👍🏽

Thanks Louie. That's the next video. It was the more difficult decision, Gab has some great options.
Hey bro kinda late, but i was thinking of getting a demon blood but not sure which cast weight should i be looking at preferably able to cast 60g jigs and lob a livie if i get the chance. Do u know which model u recommend?
For 8000 to 14000 size reels, we recommend Demonblood S962, PE 3-5.
@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew is 120grams of cast weight enough to lob live yakkas?
@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew thanks for the reply uce
@@danielnguyen8933 that should be fine. A few of the boys use the same rod for livies no problems. Just don't use huge livies 😁
Hey mate is a one piece rod more sensitive than a two or three piece?
I wouldn't say it's more sensitive. The more expensive 2 or 3 piece rods can be sensitive & strong, but you get what you pay. The 1 piece rods in theory has less points of failure, but we fish land based, so a 1 piece rod will not work for us while travelling.

Hey mate, which rods and reels do you use for fishing off the rocks? Cheers :)
why happened with maikuro rod? too heavy?
The Maikuro is a 7 foot rod (10-24kg), too short for rock fishing. It's relatively heavy & doesn't cast well. It's great for its price, but I wanted something nicer.
@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew ah right, i mistaken with the maikuro 9ft one...
Why are you weighing the rods?
Most people weigh reels, but forget that the weight of the rod also contributes to how comfortable it is to cast lures all day. So we wanted to test this. Plus the more expensive rod makers always advertise that their rods are strong and light.
