Title: Ripple Fisher GT78PF vs. Tokara
Post by: Gary Krol on April 05, 2012, 11:34:04 AM

I have the Tokara already, is there any benefit to getting the 78PF or can the Tokara duplicate more or less all of its functionality?

Is there a reason why you are comparing it specifically to a 78PF?

I have opportunity to add the PF specifically to the quiver at a decent price, but don't want to buy something I absolutely don't need.  I have Tokara, Souls PE12, and JM GT Monster which already all overlap somewhat.  I have a tackle addiction problem like many and am eager to get my first RF, just trying to find an excuse :)

There is a reasonable level of similarity purpose-wise between the rods. the Tokara has a slightly slower action that then PF. On the other hand, if you have a tackle addiction you need to feed, I am sure you can justify it!

I like fighting fish on the Tokara but the Ripple's quite a bit lighter and easier to use all day, also a great fish fighter and IMO a very under-rated rod. They seem to loose out in popularity to RF79R but I grabbed the PF over the 2 . 
If you can get one for a bargain price I'd snavell it.
