--- Quote from: Kevin Li on January 20, 2009, 09:28:21 AM ---Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm 77kg and still will be pushing more on the squat as I've been training for 7 months now. I've to be realistic that pushing twice my body weight on the press would be nearly impossible!

The fighting would definitely be a problem as you guys are heavier than I am and are happy with the black diamond 77. What is stunning is that there's also a black mafia which is suppose to be AAA rating! I think what ever I choose I will be ok with the casting.

BTW, are the rod weight light compared to other brands?

How does it split up in two? Handle+ tip?

Kevin .

the black mafia are to handle the pe12 that is why it got the AAA rating
most ppl fish  up to pe10 that is why i took the black diamond which it rate at pe10 .

but i can fish with pe12 on the black diamond . all i had to do is lower the rod  ;)

Maybe you should try the SP78EXH ???

hope,s this help .

Aaron Concord:
Hi Kevin,

I do own both the Carpenter SP78UHL and the PD Black Diamond.

They both have the same lifting capacity as each other (the Black Diamond is marginally more powerful) and I run PE 10 GT Avani on both.

As far as a realistic HEAVY popping rod is concerned, I chose the Black Diamond due to its ability to sling a 200gm popper 90m and work it well.

It also isn't a spine popping experience to hang on to as well, where the Fire Vortex is!!

Basically, I am 5'10 and weigh 93kg.
If you are under 6'4 and 100kg forget the Fire Vortex!!!!!
Also the Butt section on the 80 Extreme, Diamond, Black Diamond, Black Mafia & Fire Vortex is the same in rear & front grip length.

Cheers

Aaron AKA Donkey ;D

Brock Arifovic:
WSell said Donkey.

PS: are you really only 93kg? could have fooles me  :D :D :D :D :D

Sorry Buddy

Aaron Concord:
Yeah Brock.........I am 93 kg.
I am FAR from being fit enough for an extended GT only trip at present!
Pilates + Swimming got me down to 82 kg when I got my PB in 2007...

I am far from Gordon's strength...he squats 140, dead lifts 200 and can shove 620kg with his legs....THATS FIRE VORTEX FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 ;D

Aaron.

Brandon Khoo:
620kgs - that's just bloody ridiculous.
That's equivalent to something like twelve Lara Bingles  ;D
