Kurt Wilson:
Hey guys
Trying to decide between a RF 5210 and a 5215. I'll be running pe8.
Both rods are rated to pe8, though supposedly the 5210 is pretty soft.
Anybody had any experience with either of these rods?
Cheers,
Kurt Wilson

Joseph Ngan:
The 5215 is probably one of the best jigging rods on the market for PE8... I havent used the 5210 so cant compare but very happy with the 5215. It has no problems working jigs up to 420g. The rod was recommended to me by one of the serious jiggers on this site.  ;)

Kurt Wilson:
Thanks Joseph. How would the rod go with smaller jigs say 200g?
I dont see myself needing to jig much past 300g, i also wouldnt mind trying to use pe6, would that be too light?
Cheers.

Philips Mardianto:
Hi Kurt,

I used to have 5215, it is very powerfull pe-8 rod indeed.
IMO try to find another rod if you planning to jig in the range 200-300 gr.
As 5215 is good to jig with metal jig > 300gr.  :)

Kurt Wilson:
Thanks Philips
In that case ill probably go for the 5210. Its rated pe8 and to jig weight 350g. sounds perfect.
