At a highly uneducated guess...... both #3 pics are the Carpenter, #2 the El Toro and #1 is the Komodo???

All 3 are impressive as far as I can see 8)

#3 is the Komodo on both loads (the shape of the butt section is the giveaway :-) )

gonna stab in the dark for the rest as I don't have any other GT rods

#2 in the 10kg load is the el toro
#2 in the 15kg load is a carpenter.

#1 RF on both loads.

Mick,
it is easier to pull it off with the Carpenter actually,I'm not putting in any effort on that.It is the KD that is getting me the hard time.KD has no lifting power in this exercise.Bear in mind that it is a "one trip only" KD that is used in this exercise.
Cheers,
Eric

The El Toro is a nice stick. Had a bend of it at the shop last week.  Definately value for money.

Yep, I second that having caught a few fish with one. Very good value for money.

The new El Toro 180 should be out soon as well I think? I had a cast with a prototype a few weeks back.

Hi guys,

Thanks.....Yes, that's what we at Kaiser strive to do- design & produce affordable, quality gear that will do the job well.

Limited quantities of El Toro 150 & 180 V2 will be available before X'mas :) The blank is very different from El Toro V1....different materials and a different lay pattern have been used to make this a very strong GT blank. In our load tests the 150 V2 has done 25kg lifts at 45 degrees without any noises or creaking sounds.

Weight is very respectable too...Fully built El Toro 150 V2 at 420g, similar to Carpenter 78EXH.

The 180 V2 is a PE12 stick. Lotsa balls for turning stubborn GTs when they go vertical...and a tip that will work I-cups  :D

Both rods made in Korea with E-color Fuji MNSG guides.

cheers
