Questions abt SP80M

<< < (2/3) > >>

Brandon Khoo:
Yes, that Widowmaker was a scary beast

James Wang:
Is it a total different rod compare to TBL83/32? I thought of getting a TBL83/32 for purely stickbait like the gamma and shell shaping twister and the SP80M for purely chugger like the Hammerhead C Cup, Sea Frog 120g and FCL Labo 120g poppers.

Mark Harris:
Hi James, I would regard SP80M as a rod specifically for small/medium chuggers. So yes,  good for the type of chuggers you mention. 

TBL83/32 is suitable for smallish stickbaits so it depends very much on the size of Gamma and Twisters you intend to use.

Ben Yeo:
Hi James,

The Ocean revolution GT Explorer is a very fine rod. If they are still being made, its not made under that name anymore. Its my goto popping rod, if I decide to chug, I am a 95% stickbait kinda guy nowadays. If you can get hold of one, don't let go. It chugs 125 El Toros (Cuberas) and the Full Scale Kong 180 with ease. Perfectly balanced with a 10K Stella and PE 8.

Have no knowledge of the SP80.

For the TBL 83/32, I should be able to share some experience in the future as mine will be arriving next week and will be fishing it very soon. I plan to cast 120-140 gram stickbaits with it.

Cheers

James Wang:
Ben, are u from Singapore? I just got the TBL83/32 from Sabre just now.
