Mark Harris:
Thanks for that mate. Not too much difference in the blank action it sounds?  Will Synit continue running the two ranges side-by-side or is the Deep Shot intended to supercede the Venom?

The Venom 550FT is a truly superb rod so not too surprised to hear those Cr's from Tanzania :).

Hi Mark,

Deepshot is slightly more parabolic compared to Venom and instead of Kevlar butt reinforcement there is a 3K carbon weave low on the butt. This material change gives more lifting power with a slower action.

On a side note, one of our customers just landed a nice 58kg doggie on a V550FT 5'2" in Tanzania. The same guy fought an est 300kg bull shark to boatside with the V550FT in March this year and in Tanzania too  :) They have 2 more days to go, looking forward to the report...will be epic for sure!

Couldn't explain it better myself Mark.....
As you stock the Venom and have used the DS150 on Sailfish earlier this year. I know you will be stocking the Deepshot series soon.

As the Deepshot has more lifting power and newer technology it is intended to supercede the Venom.

Nice looking rod, what reel / line set up will you put on it? is there a similar rod for spin?

I don't know a lot about jigging but that looks like a wide jig range for 5'1", I'll be interested to hear how it handles lures at either end of the spectrum.

Please keep us updated as I'd like to hear more about what appears to be a very versatile rod based on the spec you give.

Cheers
Andy

Mark Harris:
The jig size ranges for each model are surprisingly large?? 

Eg 180 to 500 grams for the same rod. I struggle to see how a jig rod handles acceptably jigs so light they "almost not there" (180 grams) and a 500 gram lump!
