F-Stick 82LC Nano Question

(1/2) > >>

Glenn Waddle:
Am looking for a dedicated chugging stick for D, E Cup and probably stretch G cup. Considering the F-Stick 82LC Nano has the same casting weight as F-Stick 711 Powerfight. Wonder do they have the same tip stiffness while 711 has a stronger butt power.

Glenn Waddle:
Hi K
Thanks for the pm.
I really like to know more about this rod. Any1 anything?
Cheers

Felix Lux:
The 82LC Nano is a very new model, not many will have fished both, but it's meant to be very similar as the old one and the RF catalogue indicates this as well, if you compare the 2014 to the 2015 catalogue. The old 82LC is an awesome allrounder, works poppers up to 150g and stickbaits up to 180g really well. 120g is also a realistic bottom end for it in terms of comfortable casting weight. The Power Fight is stiffer and has more power, it's a dedicated popper rod. As a real stickbait rod you are looking at the Ultimo series (got the long 88MH to cast bigger stickbaits to kings off the rocks) and on the opposite end the Final Spirit 79H is a broomstick for really big poppers. I caught one big fish on it, but will need to train technique and gym time, as it's a bit too much rod for me. Killed me :-[ ;D

Glenn Waddle:
According to Brandon and Mark, the older longcast behaved like a stickbait rod. However in the recent testing of the nano edition they used it with E cup. I am confused as to how similar the intent but how dissimilar the outcome. I really wish someone have used both and describe their best suited application.
