Title: PE3 Casting Rod
Post by: Jay Burgess on November 15, 2010, 04:57:55 PM
In the market for a PE3 casting rod, got my eyes on a Yamaga Blanks Blue Sniper 65/3 or 70/3 but just wondering what else is out there around this length that people would recommend?

Jay,

I have a Ripple Fisher Aquila 72H. It is rated around PE3 and 60 gram lure weight.
It casts well, is quite parabolic and nicely balanced with the 3500 Saltiga I use on it.
Definitely worth a look.

Ken

Hi Brandon ,

Very difficult to source BC75MLR because it is very popular among the Japanese anglers , allocation for export is very limited .

Mainly small stickbaits Luke, and the occasional popper too.
