Really nice rod for throwing lures a mile. I can't wait for my custom EP810-42 RP ICBM. Throwing from the boat with the EP88/35 has been ok. Just have to look behind you before loading up. :-D

Trevor Skinner:
I saw's Guy's post which reminded me that I should follow this one up.

Went fishing in Musandam yesterday and tried out the new EP 85/36. Worked 140g gammas beautifully and flattered my casting ability no end, so all in all a success. Got a nice GT but on the Monster Hunter.

It is also very impressive in the power stakes, despite being a long relatively lightly built rod. Hooked a grey reef shark of about 6 foot on a floating stickbait. (Mods:Do we need to set up a topwater shark forum?)

The shark kicked my arse but the rod handled it like it was built for it.

Thanks for the advice guys, priceless.


Regards,


Trevor

Yea Trevor, I was caught between choosing EP85 or EP88. Got the latter instead. Hope the 3 inches more will help much with the distance. =P

Mark Harris:
It will help with distance for sure Josh - EP 88/35 casts miles. But you will pay for it if you get into a big angry fish with a rod that long! And I find the length really unwieldy when on a boat. Apart from anything else I keep hitting the water with the tip when working the lure  >:( .
