Smith WRC Ichiban 7,7" PE-8/10 cw 200g
February 02, 2015, 06:11:31 AM
Any one that have any experience with this rod and how is it compared with the Tokara 60.?
Looking for a backup rod to a trip to Kirinda Sri Lanka. I know about a used one.
I will use Stella 18000 sw and pe-10 braid.
Main rod will be Ripplefisher GT78 Flex but budget wont allow to Ripplefisher right now..

If the Ichiban don't happen, I have a spare Carpenter Monster Hunter 80h you can borrow.

I have the Smith GTK-77BG Keyolhu and on paper this and the WRC Ichiban are identical in specs, perhaps the Ichiban was made for the European market?



The Tokara is a far more powerful rod being PE12 and casting up to 250g, I am sure some anglers that have used this rod can attest to the power of it.

Cheers,

Ian

FREDERIC,
I have a Keyolhu and I fished with a Ichiban and a Tokara, this one is significantly more powerful than the first two on paper and in the hands  ;) both in the fight with a fish, in animated large poppers and launch lures (english ???)
Personally, despite my age (73) I have not found the Tokara tiring, I should have bought the Tokara instead of the Keyolhu

In late March I will be at Kirinda with my Fisherman TRSH and my Carpenter Coral  Viper  :)
