The rods Venom Crank Bait Spin The spin rods were used for all of the offshore work including reef bashing and trolling. These rods were durable, tough and had enough grunt to make things happen when they needed to. Venom 6kg Baitcaster Probably the most commonly used rod up north, the 6kg Venom Baitcaster can throw light and heavy lures and work them easily in amongst the mangrove snags. At 5’9” they are ideal for punching casts back into the snags and tough enough to get the fish out when they smash the lure. Bone Voyage 704XXH This was my favourite rod on the trip as it had the ability to cast long distances accurately and enough power to dictate terms to all fish I hooked. I loved the extra length and the slightly softer tip as it allowed for bow and arrow casting and underhand casting from the back of the boat. 31
