Title: Ripple ug82h
Post by: Christoffer Hansen on December 12, 2011, 06:36:52 PM

Hey guys,
              Just chasing some opinions on this rod and possibly any others that would be worth considering. Must be pe10 and 8-8,3ft. Will be used for stickbaits in the 150-300g rigged range. Already hav a medium and heavy popping outfit.
           Cheers chris

If you're looking for a specialised stickbait rod in this length that will handle 200g+ stickbaits, you've identified about the only option in the market right at this point in time. That said, I wouldn't be thinking of using this for stickbaits much more than about 220-230g. If you want to go to 250g plus, you really will have to go to something like a Monster Hunter 79XH or a Wild Violence.

Brandon (or anyone) have you heard talk of any likely competition coming in this class of rod? Ripple Fisher certainly seem to have it to themselves right now.
