What Combo Do You Use!? (GT Fishing & Popping)
Mark Harris:
Carl, not sure you should be comparing a Carpenter rod to an FCL Labo rod. Different price range altogether.
If you have the budget for a CV7940 but want some extra length for shore casting, then Carpenter have other superb options such as Discovery Journey 83MH and the whole Endless Passion range.
Carl Hollis:
Good points Mark, I've used the EP85 and absolutely love it, but I can't justify another PE6-8 stick bait rod in addition to the Fokeeto 83-7. Price isn't the issue, however the FCL 80EXT appears to be a good buy for what it can do (Fishhead give it a good rap on their sponsor pages).
I am leaning towards an 8' rod due to land based popping requirement also. The Ripple GT82 Longcast looks interesting, and I'd be very appreciative for other members more learned advice.
Cheers
Mark Harris:
CV79/40 is not so different from EP82/38 in the stiffness of its tip Carl.
From your further description of what you are looking for, Carpenter Discovery Journey 83MH would be a better option than CV79/40 I think. Really nice rod which will help with casting distance from land and handles chuggers up to 150 grams very capably.
Ripple GT 82 is also a fine rod and one I really enjoy using.
Dmitrii Novgorodtcev:
What about TBL82/40?
Dmitrii Novgorodtcev:
TBL80/40. Sorry for mistyping.
