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
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
