Leo Sorbello:
Hi All,

I would like to know from guys, who have either the subject mentioned rods if there able to cope/use properly stickbait lure weight ranges of 120g - 180g including treble hooks & poppers of weight ranges of 100g - 140g including treble hooks.

I'm interested to maybe acquire either of the rods and would appreciate ones experience with either please.

Thanks guys.

Regards

Leo

I have the 79MH PE8 UG Swim and consider this more of a PE6-8 rod and is fine for lures up to 120g. Suggest the PE10 Ultimo would be a better option for your needs.

Leo Sorbello:
Hi Jason,

Thank you for your details, much appreciated. Your insight has assisted me well.

Hi Leo
I own the 1st generation 79H. One of my favourite rod. Light n wippy! For me I think stick bait range 140-180g and my pick being Orion 180.
Awesome on pencil like Toby, longpen100-150 awesome tip action
A very light rod, can cast 200gm, for me I think too heavy once you add terminal. I had used gamma 2000 on it but prefer lighter plus terminal.
With poppers, my favourite pick would be fullscale 200. Having said that it works fullscalse Big 180 perfectly. ( bigger cup face). Match in Heaven!
Other than that nothing else to say!

Leo Sorbello:
Hi Ricky,

Many thanks for taking the time in providing a top break up what lures from your use is tops for the 79H....thanks again. It has certainly narrowed it down further to another rod that I'm eyeing out being the Carpenter BLC 80/40 R-Power max Super Cobra.

Regards

Leo
