Chris, quote from Brandon in the "Guide to buying a GT rod" post:
"Many people want a very wide variance in terms of casting weights which is understandable. I can only say that if this is the case, a rod with a more progressive action will be more forgiving in this regard. An example is a Smith Komodo Dragon which will cast a 100g weight competently but will also cast a 200g weight. A Carpenter Wild Violence is also similar in that it can cast lighter lures better than its stable mate, the SP78UHL which is the same weight class but which is designed specifically for huge cup mouthed poppers."
Thanks for the other examples though, its all good food for thought. Its still a while yet untill I hand over the folding and all resourch is good:- especially with the $'s involved!
