I weigh 78kgs and are pretty fit due to work  but after putting some line through and xh I too felt it was a bit more rod than I could handle and will go with the H and hopefully a flex. What is max casting weight for the ultimo??

Maybs - Good to hear first hand feedback mate... I've got about 2o or 25 kilos on you, but unfortunately probably not anywhere near as fit these days.... I like the thought of a beast brutal rod ( must be the macho South African in me.... ) but am aware that the reality is that I will do more injury than enjoyment to myself with the 78XH....

But I'll make that choice when in hand I reckon.... The 78XH will be easy for me to sell off here, as all South Africans believe bigger and stronger is better, that macho thing showing up again... and certainly in some of the waters in Mozambique, Seychelles, and Tanzania, a rod with the kind of muscle a 78XH has is a good thing to have....

We'll see how it goes, thanks for your feedback mate, real world testing and feed back from anglers like yourself really mean alot in helping out someone who doesn't get to fish nearly as often as he'd like!

Mate you are officially sick! I tried Dave's Final Spirit 79H and that is plenty rod, the XH would just be ridiculous.. The ultimo was awesome though, will be getting one asap.

Andre van Wyk:
Sharpie - I've got a spare 79H if you want.... and I know you want!!!  ;D
