Ripple Fisher Fanta Stick GT79 Reversal X Carpenter MH80H

[Celso Mendonca]

Hi Guys.
I'm looking for popping to use in Bugatti Reef with Saltiga DF.
Wich is most suitable ?Thinking in GT and 150/170 gr poppers,ok?!
Thanks.

Hi celso

80h is more suitable for what you want to do, you will love it.
RF79R is a very nice rod but for lighter poppers and stickbait. I will buy both if I can affOrd it.
Rf for lighter and 80h for 150 to 200gm lures.

Ok Ricky.And Fanta Stick GT78 PowerFight vs Monster Hunter MH80H?

[Chris Webster]

Being a Ripple Fisher fan i would say go for the  GT78 PowerFight but im sure you would also be very happy with the MH80H. The Carpenter may be a little easier on you though.

[Mark Harris]

Both suitable for your brief Celso (78PF I mean, not GT 79R).

If both were side by side at the same price, I would chose MH80H for its fighting attributes and superior casting.

All this rod torque I'm gunna need a marriage counsellor 

[Scott Maybury]

I have both rods, have had the RF 79R for a few years but the MH80H is only new, haven't used it yet

I feel the 79R maxes out on poppers at 150-160gm, it is hard to work poppers heavier than 160. Ideal weight for this rod for poppers for me is 120-150. It is a very nice rod

In about 6 weeks I can tell you how they compare as that will be my first trip with the Monster Hunter

[Ross Smith]

Does either Ripple Fisher or Carpenter use K guides on any of their rods ?

Cheers Ross.

[Mark Harris]

On GT rods, I do not think so Ross.  But you will find them on lighter rods from Yamaga/Ripple Fisher and maybe on some light Carpenters (not sure about the latter though).

[Ross Smith]

 Thankyou for that Mark, l would think Ripple Fisher and Carpenter would use the best guides
 and as l'm having a new rod built PE 6-8.
 l think l will stick with the tried and true SG's, reversing the first 2 and keep the K's for something lighter.

 The K's do look good though.
 Cheers Ross.

I had one of my old Carpenters rebuilt with titanium K guides. The guides have stood up to what has been dished out on PE8 but I haven't been impressed by the casting performance.
