Reply With QuoteI was looking at those as well.
But there were a few models. I became confused.
A dude at BCF told me that braid was more important than rod type, as "braid doubles your casting distance"
So no, I did not buy one or suss them out properly.
Has anyone got any experience with these spin rods, the seem to be good quality?

They are very nice bits of kit. Have used a couple of them. Strong as anything.
Note to self: Don't argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience....
Yeah nice, it's to use with a Stella 8000, still deciding how heavy to go with the rod.
My neighbour has one, the 40-80lb 7ft one piece fitted with a Saragosa 14000 for memory. He has caught all sorts of fish on it including cobia to 20kg, marlin to 35kg, big cod, snapper etc. It's a fairly stiff action but a good allround bottom basher and trolling outfit.

I have one in a "15-40lb" mated to a 6000 Stradic. Great for the shallower reefs and a great action, but I'd go heavier if you wanted to target larger fish ~10kg+. You can get a 30-50lb which may be more on the money. Sure the LB rating is probably the breaking capacity of the rod, but with the relatively light action (for the 15-40 anyway) I can be pretty confident in saying you wouldn't be able to put a lot of hurt on a 40lb fish... But then again maybe I'm being a wuss and not loading up the rod anymore after it's doubled over on itself... Don't get me wrong I love the rod and would say it's perfect for agressive reefies (trout,etc) up to and around 5kg which is virtually all I target. Give the 30-50lb a test at your local shop.
I just bought a 40-80lb overhead and im looking forward to giving it a good workout up at the swains next week!
They are nice looking rods, thats for sure
they look the goods for sure.. im getting one very soon
got a med/light great for tossing rapalas and will chuck out 100g lures easy matched to 4500 daiwa phantom 30lb braid love it.
