Hi Christian

i just bought the smith gtk70jp from the guys at fish head and have fished with it
4 out of the last 6 days have caught a couple of G's with it up to 16kg and it handles
them impressively in fairly open water.

i have been using poppers and stickbaits around 100gram, it casts alright for a 7ft rod
i bought it to use as a heavy plastics rod as well so good for more than one application

hav'nt used that particular ripple but all the others i have tried have been really impressive

cheers John
