Please clarify what you wish to achieve?

What lure type, weight, line class, drag - how much can you tolerate?

What action are you looking for?

Where do you wish to use it?

Hi Luke,
FYI I already have CV79/40 for my swimbait rod. Now I'm looking rod for chugger around 125-150gr, pe8-10, 12kg drag for start. I'm 185cm tall height n 85kg weight. I do my fishing mostly around Eastern Indonesia, Thanks.
Cheers,
Jeff

i go with MH80H....currently is in the market plus enough power to use in Bali n Lombok. No experience for MH in Komodo, Alor or Raja Ampat.
WV80XH felt slightly stiffer with slightly larger diameter at buttjoint....plus very rare in the market.

juz my 2cents

I would go the MH80H based on the info you provided. The WV80H is a heavier rod than the MH80H and is designed to fish up to PE12.

both rods would still suit based on the popper size you outlined. The MH80H is a bit stronger than the 79R. Comes down to what you want.
