[Chris_Nias]

Ok brandon, I will talk to my local distributor.

About RF35, can I find the video action in youtube?

[Brandon Khoo]

Sorry Christian - no idea about YouTube. What do you want this for?!

[Chris_Nias]

Brandon, I think u know video of rod in youtube, n I want watch it if so

[Chuen Fan]

Christian, I think what Brandon is trying to say is that he does not know of any videos of the rod on youtube. Why don't you try and do a search for it on the youtube site?

[Chris_Nias]

Ooo, sorry about that, coz my english so bad..

I have to search in youtube but I don't find it..

[Chris_Nias]

[Jon Li]

anyone know how much weight seed rod n carpenter rod?

SP80M - 400 gr. n CV79/40RF SHP - 385 gr. .

Jon .

[Chris_Nias]

Finally go to SP80M. Beauty rod with black colour. But this rod very stif, like pe8-10 for me.

I want pair with Accurate SR30L + line PE8 + lure 100-150gr.
What u think about combination Guys...?

[Jon Li]

Hi Christian ,

How did you get the rod so fast , you must own your own airline !    You will find SP80M has enough backbone to subdue big GT without causing the angler to suffer much .

SR30 has history of " drag spike " so be carefull n you must maintain the drag washers in that reel .

Christian, the SP80m is at most a PE8 rod. It is definitely not a PE10 rod. The reel is really very much dependent on what weight line you want to fish. If you are going to be fishing PE6 - 8 for the most part, I'd suggest you look at a 10000XG as you can always get a Studio Ocean Mark No Limits 16000 spool if you want a bit more capacity. If you want the reel fish PE8-10, then I'd suggest a Stella 18000HG or a Dogfight. Personally, I can't see any reason why you would get an Accurate over a Stella or Saltiga - but that is a personal view.

Brandon,

How much more line will the SOM take? I can't seem to split the difference.

[Brandon Khoo]

I don't have the reel in front of me but I think that it takes something like 270m of PE6. All I can say is that the SOM spool is noticeably bigger.

[Chuen Fan]

PE6 300m, PE8 250m according to the specs, standard spool will fit less than 200 of PE8

[Chris_Nias]

@ Jon Li: Hehehe... I'll get SP80M just two days from Jakarta to Nias.

@ Brandon Khoo: Yes Brandon, i'm looking Stella 10000XG for my SP80M. But i want to know what reason stella better than twinspin?

Yesterday i'm popping with SP80M + SR30L + PE8 + Cubera 150gr. I'm casting nonstop in three hour.
Why i'm very tired? Whether because very heavy weight or because SP80M very stif? Please give me input..

chris,

[Brock Arifovic]

Might I suggest to GET FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be a good start, if that fails try fishing 20lb on plastics for snapper or simply HTFU.

It really isn't that hard.

Did you happen to get/raise any fish in that 3hrs of casting? Maybe you could try a new area to fish.
