Ripple Fisher specs question

[Mahmoud Salem]

Good day

I was checking the Ripple Fisher lineup:
http://www.ripplefisher.com/english/e_ichiran.htm

there is a column in the specifications called "comfort lure",
is that the maximum lure or the sweet spot?
Does this weight include hooks or lure only?
How precise is Ripple Fisher's ratings, generally?

Thanks in advance
Mahmoud

Hey Mahmoud, I found RF/YB ratings to be spot on or slightly underrated on my own Yamaga and the few other rods I could play around with (2 RF GT rods, rest RF and YB shore casting rods). From what I hear other people have a similar opinion.

Unfortunately I can't remember casting one with a specified "comfort lure" weight, but I suppose it's the sweet spot. For a little more detail I suggest you download the RF catalogue https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=7B2233AE469D16F!141&app=WordPdf or ask Richard Foong directly.

"Comfort Lure" is the maximum size that the rod can comfortably work. Some of the ratings are a little soft so if the rod lists the rating as 200gr it could probably work a 250gr lure fine.
