I think any of the rods would handle fish below 25kg easily, more of a deciding factor would be the terrain/lure type which you would be fishing to help you make your decision!

Christian - you're from Nias Island and your sur-name is Nias? is this simply a coincidence or are you using a name other than your real name? if so, please note our forum rules - we request people use their real names

Hey Christian,

I also am living in Indo at the moment and the under 25kg is pretty much the norm from the rocks.  I have the LR88 and love it for both from the rocks and the boat.  It is a big advantage being able to cast that extra few meters and certainly has pleanty of grunt for fish of this size.
Thats my two bob worth anyway!

Something like a Carpenter Coral Viper in the RF35 sounds about right

Carpenter rod is worth waiting for , beside we have SP80M in stock so what is stopping you , Chris ?

I would prefer the SP80M over these but that is a personal thing

Big 'thumbs up' for the SP80M   8) and it will go beyond 25kg fish quite happily if the situation requires.

Christian, unless someone has one available for a private sale, Carpenters are an exercise in patience. Speak to your local distributor about ordering one and then wait patiently. If you don't want to wait, opt for another brand.
