CARPENTER! EP 82/38 or CV 79/40

<< < (2/4) > >>

Daniel Wen:
Hi Brandon!
yes really detailed and awesome write up!  ;D thks!

Trevor Skinner:
Daniel,

I'm no physicist but doesn't all that imply a stiff lever. What if the lever folds as happens with a parabolic action rod, particularly like the Carpenters?

In my experience, from a practical stand point the longer Carpenters are just as easy (if not arguably easier) to use in terms of fighting a fish as their shorter stiffer counterparts.

As far as I'm aware the 38 and 40 nomenclature relates to the lifting power of the blank, mainly as relates to the butt section of the rod. I have a BLC 83/35 and an EP 85/36 and although they have similar lifting ability they have very different tip and middle section profiles.

Regards,


Trevor 

Brandon Khoo:

Trevor Skinner:

A case of fools rush in then.

I'll get my coat..................



Trevor
