Finally gotten my Angler Rods Black Magic Extra back yesterday from the tackle shop after a rebuild. I`ll give it a trial run with the new reel one day soon.
what brand is the Black Magic Extra,,,?????Originally Posted by Bush Ranger
and what style of rod,,trout, bream ??
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
three dogs - All it has on the rod is Angler Rods, Black Magic Extra, Made In Coloundra, Qld, By Richard Hilton. FUJI. On the handle where the reel sits, it has Fuji Reel seat 22 and that`s all it has. The length of it is 302 centimetres long, which is near enough to 10 feet and is a two piece rod. I`ll take a photo of it one day and post it up. Apparently Richard Hilton of Angler Rods works with Ken at Pacific Composites from what I have read on the web. It must have some age to it, as it was my gf fathers rod and she has no idea when he bought it. I can`t ask him either, as he`s long gone now to ask.

My dad (85) has just handed over his ancient but in good nick, Black Queen Deluxe.
No reel as it hasn't been used in 20 years.
Any recommendations as to a suitable reel?
I have no experience as a fisherman, in fact I am lucky to catch a cold in winter, so I will be asking a few questions here in the future.
4WD and fishing seem to be a natural pairing.

The state your in is the best for fishing variety , from trout and Redfin in the south to Barra and Mack in the north , you buggers are spoilt for choice .
Yep just ask Avo
Yeah caught some small ones like that in Broome , made good bait , nothing like a livey under a float .
Are there any numbers/weights marked on the rod? If it's the same as the newer one with that name that googling turns up (8' 2pc 2-6kg) look for a 2500-4500 size spin reel (depending how much line you want & your comfort with the weight of the reel) with 8-10lb mono line. I use a Daiwa Saltist, but this may be a little on the topside of what you'd want to spend if you don't fish much. Penn Spinfisher V might be another to consider - but again maybe pricey for your purpose.
Avoid the sales pitch for braid line - big $ & not worth it if you don't fish much.
4x4 and fishing definitely go hand in hand. The harder it is to get there, the less it should have been fished (in theory anyway...)
