Vasko Dimoski:
How would the MH79XH compare to a Ripple Fisher GT79H or are they just not comparable ?
Thank you

Kasey Leong:
Vasko,

To answer your question, they are similar, in terms of being very heavy and powerful of chugging rods, but the GT79H has a stiffer tip and slightly faster action and will handle heavier poppers. However, I am of the opinion that the MH casts much easier and one reason for that probably has to do with its slower action and more parabolic bend. (Mind you - the GT79H was originally designed to be very parabolic compared to what it was up against at the time, which was the SP EXH).

Brandon or Tak will correct me if I'm wrong here, but if I remember correctly the MH79XH will be saturated just under G-cup sizes, while the GT79H will handle G-cup sizes fine. We're talking about bloopers here, not stickbaits - it's just a little bit less stiff in the tip. This can be both a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you're looking for.

The MH range will be alot easier and comfortable to fish with than the Carpenter SP range - I would think they could and possibly would even replace the legendary Super Poppers. Personally, I would like to see a slightly heavier version of the MH79XH but this would be for the very specific application of big chuggers.
