Title: Ripple Amberjack 59 - PE6 Tuna jigging rod?
Post by: David Noble on April 20, 2010, 01:09:47 PM

Hi guys,

I'm posting this on behalf of a mate who is after a PE6+ rod for 3-400g jigs and able to be used a heavier (than what he already has) jig rod.  I know he'd like to go for YFT off Sydney.
The Ripple Fisher Amberjack 59 has taking his liking, would this handle this application?

Anyone familiar with this model?  Appreciate any comments.

Cheers David
