Hi guys,
I was looking for a good quality rod for bait fishing; a rod that is light, can cast a long distance and is strong enough to tackle Pakistani carps in the range of 5-15 kg. Well, I found this one lying in an unknown tackle shop. The rod has fol specifications:
Model : Loomis & Franklyn SuperX
Length: 8 ft
Casting wt: 30-60 gm
Line rating: 12-20 lbs
Guides: 7 titanium guides, top quality.
Blanks: IM7 Graphite.
Top quality EVA grip, rear grip 15inches, front grip 4 inches
Fuji reel seat.
Very light wt.
Colour: Black with golden wraps.
Price: Pak Rs 5500. Equal to around RM 210
Well, its now a month that I am using this rod and have caught around 40 fish with it, the biggest being a 5 kg common carp, another 3 kg snakehead and numerous fish between 1-2 kg. Its a pleasure using this rod. Casts 70-100 meters easily and has lot of backbone. Long rear handle makes it very easy to play big fish.
I recommend this rod for those who like bait fishing (both with live and dead bait) and want to cast a mile [:)]
regards
