RIPPLE FISHER 82LC OLD AND KNEW

(1/3) > >>

Vasko Dimoski:
Hello every one I was wondering if there was anything diff between any of the ripple fisher 82LC some body recently told me that the older 82LC had a thinner wall blank then the knew ones and if this is true has it affected the rods performance in any way noticeable?

Mark Harris:
A quick email to Nomad might be in order to get that answered?

I currently own a slightly custom lime green 82LC (purchased this year) and previously had a standard model which I sold as I fell for the lime green. For what it is worth (probably little), there is no discernible difference in performance.

Mark, surely the lime green casts faster ;), love the color options for the ripples, what color bindings on the lime green LC? I really want to try one of these LC's one day. My buddy cast one for miles but I have not seen a fish fight on one yet.

The minimal binding is black and green. Of course it casts faster.. Lamborghini fast  8).

It is a really excellent rod Andy. Casts a mile if you really want to fling one and (more importantly for me) is so easy on the body. Superb stickbait rod and handles chuggers to 160 grams without too many issues. Good fighting rod as you would expect from a Ripple and has more grunt than most folks would expect.

Interestingly, this weekend I intend to do a direct comparison between this fella and a Carpenter DJ83MH - a rod which instinctively feels most similar.

Andy Rowe:
Mark, look forward to hearing the results of this shootout, I hope you get some hookups on both. I think an 8 foot GT rod is a good one to have in your arsenal these days when the spots are just out of range of the normal rods. I have a new MH80H  :-[ which i look forward to abusing and reviewing in the near future.
