Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
Anyone with experience with T-Russell and Seed GT blanks?
Chris Leong:
Hi sachin chaudhry,
Thx for the heads up about the belt u use.
Any more suggestions?
Brandon,luke.. All the gurus here.
Brandon Khoo:
Firstly - I ain't no guru, not even close! ;D Second, we can all only give you our opinions. You have to feel and test it for yourself to establish your own comfort level.
I can't provide you with any advice on the use of the Caranx Kaibatsu as I just don't have any extended experience with the rod. I have, however, experienced the longer butt with a WV83XH STR and what I can tell you is that the longer butt doesn't suit me personally. It's a matter of personal feel but I prefer a gimbal that sits higher, just below my waist so the lower gimbal mount for a Kaibatsu dosn't suit me personally.
I also cannot provide you with any views on the Ryobi Safari outside of the fact that the people who have used it seem to have been quite satisfied with it. In terms of its suitability in the Maldives with PE5, it might be helpful for you if you PM wongkz who has a Safari and has fished quite a bit around the Maldives.
Chris Leong:
Thx Brandon,
Im looking for a low mount belt, any reccommand. Saw the GT Max, very very beautiful, but would it be suitable for a long butt rod?
Brandon Khoo:
no, unfortuntely, it is not. That is one fo the belts I use and while you could loosen it and wear it lower, it isn't designed for this. The belt is curved and meant to sit higher.
You could look at some of the low mount belts like the Jigging Masters.

The Bling Bling factor on the GT Max is so enticing!
