Title: Ripple Fisher Amberjack 59 rod
Post by: Gary Krol on September 27, 2012, 12:05:09 AM

Has anyone used this rod or at least bent it in person?  Specifically looking for info on it's weight and how true it is to its rating.  I know the Amberjack 55 has a good review from Nomad but can hardly find anything on the 59

I have this rod. It is quite soft in the tip yet heavy down the foregrip. The greater length is usefull around outboards.
What jig weights are you using?
