Info from Carpenter Lures Australia Website:
New F3 711/40 is all-round type rod that is for similar purpose to Monster GT Hunter series rods (MH series rod) however development has been purely focussed in making fighting effort easier and as the result, rod has different action enough for Carpenter to release under different series.
Anglers now have rod selection between F3 and MH for similar purpose and both series will be continued in current range.
F3 will be a great choice for anglers who like to ease fighting than existing MH series rods using stickbait type lures as well as swimming action type poppers.
MH series rods will be more suitable to the anglers who like traditional 'power' style popping using large cup poppers as F3 711/40 has softer tip section compare to MH.
* We would also like to point that this F3 is still considered as heavy 40lb rod although its focus in development to reduce loading effort, and it doesn't miraculously make anglers who is generally struggle using heavy tackle able to use them.
