Advice on land based GT rod

<< < (2/8) > >>

Gerhard Delport:
I have the Blackhole 106H.

I use it for Spanish Mack and Queens from the bricks.

The rod handles a 150g Cubera popper with a smile and launch it a long way.

I have matched it with the Stella 10 or 14K with PE 6-8.

You can also look at the Blackhole 8.6 nano if you need a bit more backbone to handle a GT from the bricks

Stuart

I believe that CTS has 2 blanks designed in conjunction with Nathan at GTFC - 10' and 11' respectively. Can be found on the CTS site along with pics in action etc also on FB

I am about to order a 10'...

Gerhard when you say a a Cubera 150 a long way, I am looking for a longer rod to get extra distance.

I would be very interested in what distance you are getting on this set up, any chance of measuring your casts on a field.

Craig,

I am flying back to Saudi today.

I will make a couple of casts on the soccer field at the construction camp somewhere the next week.

Its difficult guestemating distance on water but I can confirm I land the 150g past the 1,5-2 oz lures casted by the a fellow angler using a 11ft Amia.

The 106H has been called a noodle stick by some of the guys here for GT's from the rocks I have yet to experience this....

Craig Maree:
Thanks Gerhard

I was casting a 11 Ft Amia the other day on the Rugby Field and was getting around 105 to 110m with 20lbs braid.

What LBS braid are you casting with the BH?

Let me know once you have tested on the soccer field.
