Title: My new Xzoga
Post by: Daniel Kaggelis on April 15, 2011, 05:14:15 PM

Just recieved my new  custom built Xzoga Jigging Stick built by Larry Lockwood out of Bundaberg. It is a Pinnacle Taka SA 500 5 foot 5 inches PE 6-10. I am matching it up with a stella 18000sw. Can't wait to put a bend in it! Here are a few pics of the beast.

Hi Mate,

It might be easier to jig with the 20k if you have one. The 18k might take it out of you.

Thats a really nice rod mate. I have jigged with the standard red version of this rod. Very strong. I also strongly agree with MK though..... if you have a SW20000, use it.
I love the SW20000, even for popping.
I used to jig with a 10000SW and i by the end of the day i was absolutely rooted.

Cheers,

Chris

Always good to have an excuse to get another stella! Currently trying to ngtiate a trip out of Oman whilst in Dubai in two weeks. Harder then thrying to pull a GT away from the pylons atm so I amy have to take the pain.
