Hi Kevin

The Fire Vortex is a very strong rod.
Gordon Low (a member on here) has one , he is a big man and said he was lifting Duncans heels off the ground when loading it (with no gimbal).
I have a Diamond 77 which is one of the lightest in GT range rated PE5-8. I recon it is every bit of PE8. I am running SMP PE8 on it and so far have no issues with the lowrider guides.
The prices on that link seem very good, prices here have become scary since exchange rates changed!!.

Cheers

Kevin Li:
Thanks for the feedback Chris. How do you find the grip? I like long grip for casting.
Actually how long is the grip from the butt cap to the reelseat?
What is the size of the stripper guide?

Chris Young:
I have it in a rack next to a KD, the rear grips are identical, the fore grip on the PD is 50mm longer.
The stripper guide is size 20 high foot lowrider, it actually holds the line farther away from the blank than the 40 on the KD!

Brock Arifovic:
Gordon is a big softie & Duncan is a light weight. Sorry guys had to say it.
But i do believe the rod is a bit of a telephone pole.

PS: Gordon i can't wait to see you use it @ Bugatti.I will have the video camera ready.

Chris Young:
Brock.......I wonder what will break first, the fish ::), the line PE12 ??? or the cage on the dory ;D
