Oliver Deakin:
I'm interested in an Endless Passion 82/38 for stickbaits to 180g and poppers to 140g.

However, they are tricky to source especially from the UK.

What Ripple Fisher is equivalent? I assume an Ultimo but is the tip softer on this range compared to EP?

And would the EP 82/38 be better matched with a Saltiga Exp 5500H (spooled with PE8) or 8000H size reel?

Thanks again guys,

Oli

Brandon Khoo:
The closest Ripple model to this is the 82LC (longcast). The Ultimo UG82MH would be the closest in power but this is a stickbait rod and will have a softer tip.

In terms of the reels, either will do. The smaller reels are more comfortable to use but are not as robust.

Oliver Deakin:
Thanks Brandon, I suspected the Ultimo would be softer.

Are the heavier versions like 710H Nano useable for poppers to 140g?

Brandon Khoo:
possibly but not ideal.

Hi Oli,

I replied you on the Exp 5500H bail arm free play question, hope you got it.

The 5500H on the EP82/38 is a awesome! Sweet spot is casting 160g stickballs.
Don't know about working poppers, have not tried, but I doubt it'll work except for maybe the smaller ones.

I don't own the Ultimo, but have casted a friend's, its a good rod too, but I prefer the EP, I am biased.

Cheers
Ben
