Carpenter SP80M
September 01, 2009, 01:03:50 PM
Can I ask who on here owns one and their thoughts.

I have just purchased one for stickbaits and chuggers around 120-130g.
I did a search prior to purchase and it seems to get positve comments all round for this purpose so I suppose I have answered my own question....BUT it would be good to hear from people who own one..

Thanks,
Pete

Ask Brock or Malcolm Crane for their opinion , they both have had this rod for awhile now and both have been used many times in different locations .

Thanks Jon,

I saw Brandon give the rod a good wrap in one of his Bugatti reports.

Peter,

It's a carpenter, from the LGM family and SP sub-family......

So I'd say you have bought wrong.....

But if you want I can help you re-coup part of your loss.

It will also look nice on my Carps rack to the left of my 78H, 78EXH, CV79-40, LR88  and HLTN87 ;) ;) :D

Jon,

It makes me sick to say it, but I'm having trouble justifying it.

Now, if I see you slaying some cow YFT on it this weekend then I may make a miraculous recovery.

Greg, sorry mate, but i don't think viper will be changing address in the short term.

Hi Andy ,

There will be so many Carpenter rods onboard , I think we should call ourself Carpenter tuna rod field testers ?

SP80M will be used in the next trip in November / December GT fishing trip , then we will see all SP series onboard .
