GT rods in the US

<< < (2/2)

Brandon Khoo:
Joey, the SP rods are excellent but like anything else out there, they will break if you overload them. That said, it takes a fair bit to overload a SP78UHL and I wouldn't be capable of it. I have heard of a couple of the heavy SPs breaking in the past 12 - 18 months in places like Oman and New Caledonia but these guys are really going a bit crazy; and I pesonally think its excessive; 170 - 200lb braid and trying to lock up on a big GT. You'll get away with that approach for a small fish but with a big, big fish, something is going to break and it isn't the fish. It will either be the rod, the reel, the line or the fisherman
