DW Huysamer:
Hi Hubert,

Thanks bud, that would be great.

Can you please tell me a bit more about the rod?  What blank etc?  Casting weights as well please?  I am looking for the rod to be light to medium stickbaits and popping to a max of 140/150gr with backbone.

My email is [email protected] as the sound or picture to send a pm does not seem to work on my iPad.

Cheers
DW

Hubert Viljoen:
DW,

Sent you a mail bud!

Anton Haakman:
DW,

I have the 8'6. It is a really solid blank and casts well even with lighter lures around the 90g mark.

I got the slightly longer one as I do quite a bit of land based work and as a result I opted for the extra length.

Give me a shout when you in CT.

Keep an eye on the local fishing forums. From time to time a really good rod will come up for sale. The other option is to try and order a batch of say 5 blanks. The shipping is the same as for 1. Craig may be able to assist with getting a few guys together to pool an order.

The Saltywater blanks are also worth looking at, as are the Temple Reef ones. Most are in the $200 - 300 price range. Exchange rate is killing us at present. Cost to build with Fuji Alconite guides would be less than    R 1 500. I built 2 last year and brought the guides in with the blanks. The rest of the build cost me R 600 per rod. Each of the rods stood me in under R 3k as I had a friend who went to the US and was kind enough to bring the blanks back with him.

Good luck
Anton

DW Huysamer:
Hi Anton,

I am moving there from Pta at the end of the month so I will definitely give you a shout.

I think this is the route I will be following...  I actually wanted to bring in a Saltywater RP150, but this way I could get a RP200 as well.  :) 

Thanks for the help and input guys.

Gerhard Delport:
I have the 8ft and 10,6 ft BH rods.

Chat with the guys at Jigstar Africa in Pta East.

These are amazing rods...
