Hi Tony ,
Visual observation wise , both rods share the same blank constructions but dimensions wise , BC75MLR har a beefier blank than LN733CR . I am yet to try both rods in an actual fishing condition , must get one of the blokes whom have got their BC75MLR to go fishing with me , so can't tell you how they differ but according to my Japanese associate , Carpenter rods tend to be more robust while MC Works rods tend to be more forgiving .
LN733CR uses the new K guides system while BC75MLR still uses the conventional Ocean guide system , I was told this will change in the near future .

Hi jon
thanks for that, Tak said that the new BC75MLR will be replaced with K-guides and they are testing for the settings now and hopefully be available next year. i might wait as i think the BC75MLR with 5000Sw would be ideal for chasing southern blue fin tuna in south australia and kingfish up to 20kg i have being looking at the LN733cr saltywater tackel has one in stock but might wait for while see if i can get the BC75MLR when they are avalible.. or might even get both saves the confusion ;D

Hi Tony ,
Those BC75MLRs we received from Japan went very quickly , among those who bought them are members of this forum from my immediate location , I am sure they will share their findings once they use the rod after going fishing .
I am sure the new batch of BC75MLR will have K guides but the earliest supply of this new batch won't happen until late this year or early next year . Carpenter BC75MLR is one of the most sought after rod all over the world , including JDM .

Hi jon
I might have to try and pre order one as we have a few more carpenter agents in Australia now. like you say they are very hard to get hold of i dont know if i can pre order one, i would like too if i could, i think it would be worth the wait they would not be so popular for no reason, all i know is i want one..
