Winter is here and we hit Port Phillip Bay to test and review the shimano zodias 2020 270L model on some local pinky snapper.
These rods have a stylish red and black colour scheme and pair perfectly with a Shimano Vanford 2500 spin Reel. These are the next generation of zodias rods replacing the bottom EVA foam grips of previous models with a new hollow carbon monocoque butt section. Which makes the rod lightweight, with increased sensitivity throughout the whole rod blank.
Gear used
Shimano Zodias 2020 270L spin rod
Shimano Vanford 2500 Spin reel
Daiwa J-Braid Grand 15 lb
other rods featured include the Savage Gear 1DFR and Atomic Arrowz

Another wonderful vid and review. They look like great rods. I saw them on special the other day

Great vid, always enjoy your video. The new combo is looking great. keen to get one for me. That spot is really good to test the gear, I was there on my kayak on the long weekend, my mate caught rock cods as well. And I caught an odd red mullet on soft plastic, which is a bit unussual.

New rod looks like a nice piece of equipment mate. Water colour and clouds came out really well on the camera too. Looked like beautiful conditions out there.

Nice sesh mate. It's funny how some people like or dislike certain fish eh. I myself am not keen on eating any Wrasse. I know plenty of them are top shelf but something about them just turns me off. Nice rod BTW. Cheers mate.

Really nice rod, butt just a bit short for some us here in new Zealand. Hard to hold a teally big fish with just your wrist when you're getting on a bit. Im amazed to see you drop the anchor rather than drift as we do here.

Great job. Which area are you guys fishing, Altona?

@kenovo7023

Hey mate. I'm thinking of buying a zodias. Currently looking at the 270L and the 268ML. I am mainly going to be soft plastics fishing in ppb for pinkies, some snapper and flathead. Because the L model has a lower cast weight on paper it seems more versatile but I was wondering if it could handle a decent model of a snapper or would I need the ML model for that. Can the ML model still cast light lures?

Awesome video Alan 👍🏼. That’s a really nice rod and reel setup. Whereabouts did you pick them up from, Hooked On?

@_TheOnlyJman_

Hey Alan, i'm thinking of buying the Shimano Zodias 270L model to fish with soft plastics. I am just here to ask if it can handle fish species like Flathead and Australian Salmon? Also, would this rod be able to cast soft plastics a good distance off of places like the Wyndham Harbour rock wall or the rock wall at Werribee south?

@Timothy_B

Hey mate what fishing kayak do you have? Saw it in some of your other videos. Cheers.

That rod still looks very fast action

I have the zodias baitcaster rods for barramundi fishing...the only thing I find uncomfortable is the hand grip the horn where your thumb joint presses against especially on the 6'6 model. The longer xtra heavy is a little better. I haven't tried their spin series.
