New Ripple Fisher Nano Rods

<< < (3/4) > >>

Leigh Turner:
Thanks for sharing the info. Leigh

Darius Ignatavicius:
I own Ripple Fisher F-Stick GT 711 Powerfight Nano, was using it to my trip to Maldives in November as popping rod, was casting whole day long Orion Cono 160gr and Temple Reef Balista Bull 140gr. Rod works great and casts very well. Was paired with Stella 18k. Satisfied with that rod very much. Now will go for heavier one GT 80 XH, for heavy poppers. Before that have tested 5  rods- this one works for me best with poppers (OTI, Shimano Kaibutsu and 2 more I don't remember). For me personally it was no problem to find stickbait rod (Carpenter EP 82/38) but coulndnt work poppers well with another rods, so this one now is great.

Mark Richie:
Good to know. Cheers Darius.

It would appear that this "nano" will take a few grams off your cast weight or perhaps it's just due to Ripple Fisher increasing the length of most of their rods. The plus side of losing some cast weight/chugging stiffness is a more forgiving rod.

It'd be good to know what sized chuggers the new Final Spirit can bloop.

Matt Jones:
I've been using the Nano GT80 for the last 10months as a alternative to my Carpenter MH80 and Ive been pretty happy with it so far. It certainly has its limitations with heavier type poppers (as you'd expect), but I've have found it great on medium poppers & stickbaits.

Andrew Johnson:
Matt

How do you reckon the GT 80XH Nano would go throwing big stickbaits (eg Orion Big Nambas)?

I have the Nano in the Ultimo 79MH and Aquila 785 and love them!

Cheers

Andrew
