PE4/5 casting rod - looking for recommendations
Jon Li:
I have a friend who own BC78HS in Base Custom model n when compared side by side with BC75MHS , the difference in length is attributed to the length of the handle pretty much like LR86 and LR89 LDC . The old BC75MH has 25mm ring on it's stripper guide hence when used with #4000/4500 sized reel , will make noise during a powerfull cast but the newer BC75MHS has 40mm ring guide and is no different than BC78HS in everyway .

Mark Harris:
Jon, so there's a 3 inch difference in handle length and the blank is pretty much the same length in both?
That sounds as if BC75MHS handle is very short then? How would the handle length compare to something I know, say a CV79/40?
As usual, really appreciate your guidance on Carpenter rods Jon.

BC75MHS has a shorter handle still than the handle of CV79/40RF SHP , it's a light medium rod so one needs no low positioned gimbal to use it unlike what is needed when using more powerfull GT rods such as MH models . I will try to get the photo of the handles , side by side but may not be in time to do so within this week unless my good friend can come to my house in these next couple of days . :-[

I've used the OTI tuna sniper, 8'6 40-60lb rod. It is a casting machine and is stronger than it looks/feels. I just sold mine as I wanted a lighter rod. The OTI is 460grams, I bought a Tenryu Spike Tuna 8' (pe 4-8), apprx 330grams. Sorry havent fished it yet but the weight difference is noticeable....
Mark Harris:
Geez, the OTI sniper is very heavy. That's heavier than a Wild Violence.
