Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
The New Ripple Fisher mid-joint GTX rod
Mark Harris:
I have just been told these will be available in early April. Not sure of the Australian situation (ie, Nomad I guess). As far as I know this is the first true top quality mid-joint GT rod and for those worried about airline charges for large rod cases, this could be the answer.
Spec and prices below. Should note these are my local prices simply converted to AUD. The true price situation in each country may differ.
- GTX 81/6 PE 4-6 lure max 140 grm approx $855
- GTX 81/8 PE 6-8 lure max 160 grm approx $930
- GTX 81/10 PE 8-10 lure max 180 grm approx $1,020

Graham Blackmore:
Hi Mark
Not sure of your definition of true top quality but don't FCL Labo already make an equal length rod?
Mark Harris:
They may well Graham and I know very little about FCL Labo rods. FCL Labo are a lure maker above all else so I would guess the rods are made for them and badged as FCL Labo?
Rick Smith:
Rods look good. Thanks for posting. I like the spigot joint.
I remember awhile back that Lamiglas introduced a 8'6" mid joint tropic pro popping rod. I haven't heard very much feedback at all on those rods. I realize that the must not have been very popular, but has anyone heard anything on them?
Luke Wyrsta:
Looks great, but i'm pretty sure the likes of Fisherman and several others have had mid-joint "travel" and multi-piece rods for quite some time.
Thanks for posting Mark.
