Kaiser EL Toro GT Rods Promotion
Chris Webster:
I have a Kaiser EL Toro 150 GT (v2). It is a very nice rod and it cast's like a bullet.
Was frustrating.. oops i mean fishing the Coral Sea last September. The fish shut down when 2 low pressure systems joined forces off the coast of Yeppoon, yes i posted the report, and after finding nothing else to do we decided on a casting competition.
A few fisho's and I actually rigged up exactly the same, i had the El Toro 150 and they had much more expensive rods, rods that are frequently discussed on this forum, the El Toro cast the same lure much further - and i wont be naming the other rods but im talking $1,000.00++.
Anyone interested should get one ASAP and they will not last.
Cheers,
Chris

Casting distance should not be the only factor to consider when comparing rods though, Chris! I'm sure you're aware of this anyway. It could just mean that you're a better caster than your mates 8)
Mark Harris:
Indeed Jay.
I have an El Toro 150 though (the old version 1 with red livery) and it is a good caster of medium (say 1. I would not say it outcasts others in a similar category, but does every bit as well.

Of course. There were no fish around to test them all out on unfortunately.
Peter Olesen:
Hi
How do you rate the rods in respect to cup size?
Will the 180GT handle a GT3 190 - or even an I-cup?
Cheers
