Marcus Lee:
The Synit Venoms look to be very light yet very powerful for a 100% carbon rod. Amazing deadlifts of over 45 kilos, more than the JM three kings even!

I have recently obtained a V550FT and it jigs superbly.

I am after a PE 8 rod for heavy dogtooth work. Will couple with a Stella 20K and fish 65 to 80lb on it. Have considered a Wei World but would like some advice.
Jig used will be 200 to 300gram and fishing done in 100 to 150 metres of water. Was also thinking about Carpenter. Any recommendations??

The new Jigging Master Three Kings Special 53S-M or 53S-H would do the job nice. The 53S-M would be more suited if you plan on using lighter jigs from 200-300gram as stated, if you did want to use heavyer jigs it would be fine as its suited from 250-400gram.
These new rods are very very powerful I have loaded them up and are amazed with the power they produce from such a thin blank.

Let me no if you want Pete to bring one over for his trip, I have said to him that im more than happy to deck him out with some JM jigging gear if needed.

Cheers Coxy

Sam, I'm a big JM fan - really like their rods.  I have a three kings 53m in the overhead version (with a trinidad 40N and YGK PE6) and like you selected it as a rod for heavier lines, without having to use use heavier jigs - I think a useful combo for tropical jigging.  The rod is not as parabolic as the powerspell rods in the JM range and is a little longer - this allows it a greater jig weight range. 

The down side is that that little extra length and faster taper makes it a little harder to jig the heavy weights for a long period - the leverage is working against you.  Its happy with 400gm centre weighted jigs jigging from the belt, but if you like to jig tail weighted jigs from the armpit you will quickly tire with a 400 gram jigs.  Much better suited to 300s.

In all, I still think its a great rod with plenty in reserve, and really makes sense as a travelling jig rod if you only want to take one rod - its built beautifully and is as tuff as nails - another level of security when you are travelling.

Thumbs up from me!

Hon-Su Chin:
I read about all these blanks/rods that can deadlift this and that. Personally I can't see how a rod that want deadlift 22kg or 45kg has got anything to do with real time fishing?? Does that mean it can withstand up 22kg of drag pressure?? or just able to lift a keg of beer?? 

as quoted by Pauline Hanson "Please Explain???"

Scott Maybury:
It certainly helps when, for example, you are trying to lift a circling tuna or a GT laying on its side at the end of a fight to have a high dead lift capacity. The fact that the fish is in water means you are not deadlifting its full weight, but there is a formula that can work it out as to how much you are 'dead lifting'
