Hello ,

I have the temple reef mytho plus 60s , very light rod 145g paired with Stella 6000hg
It's very nice for slow jigging , used it in southern oman

I also have the ronin PE 6-8 paired with Stella 14000 , light rod with long casting distance and I caught many GTs with it in southern oman and andaman .. Very forgiving and it's for stick baits


I also have the GT stick 8"  PE 8-10 poppin rod , it's light and works really good with me cause it's the maximum rod I can handle since I'm short and skinny

STK 72 m I use it for light casting max lure 60g

I have the Mytho+ 2-4, nice and light and super powerful. Also the 711 Reefer which I will be buying a second.

I've got the stealth STK-78HH matched with a 5500 expedition, great rod to use and perfect for stick baits and smaller poppers. It's great on the body while casting and also when you've got fish on.
