Thanks for the clarification Tom,

As I said, sorry to deviate from a great catch report. Those are unreal conditions.

I acknowledge my error - your comment was the rod was on par, not superior.
If it swims; I want to catch it!

Hi Tom,

How if Xzoga send me a demo rod to Jakarta, we can test it out in a couple of weeks time against the SP78H and SP78EXH on some (hopefully) solid Indo GT's.

We'll have some experienced GT anglers on board and we can do a fair comparison over 6 days of fishing !!!

How does that sound??

Cheers
Andy

Should the Xzoga's be as scared as the Kaibutsu's currently are around your mates?  ;)

Hey Tom

Was in tackle world last night and had a look at the new Xzoga pe 10 rod  nice looking bit
of gear it is mate, and i can see why you like it with the tip being shortened as it is a nicely balanced  rod
one question though what rod angle was the max drag rating tested at ?

Cheers John

john- the proto-type got the tip cut off it because everyone found it too soft. The on shelf model should be same length as what the proto started off at, but have similar tip to what they cut the proto down too. as for the angle of the rod with relation to drag i couldnt tell you. Id ask rob next time your talking to him. when is your next trip planned?
