just out of interest, what sort of fishing rod, would one buy to catch a fish at one of these rivers.

Fyi a couple of kingfish have been caught from waimak mouth over last week or two, they are eating the smaller kahawhi.

Normally a rod length of 7.6 in length with a sensitive tip. It depends if using the old fashion egg beater or side winder reel to which type of rod you buy. Shimano backbone is a very popular rod which is about $160 and a decent reel will set you back $150 + I have a G lumus rod worth $500 and a daiwa Luna reel worth $470 this set up is pretty much top of line but you can buy rod and reel combos for round $150 which I would recommend to start with. Then you have to buy lures around $5 each. Hope this helps.
