Mate, I wasn't asking about the Trevally 80, I was asking about the Infinity 80. You made the comment below that you have tossed and turned the Infinity many times and that it is a pretty powerful rod. I'm curious as to where you might have experienced so many of the Infinity seeing it has never been a popular stick here. Nomad bought only a handful in. I don't even know an angler who owns one.

I suspect you may have this stick confused with another because the Infinity is not a particularly powerful stick at all. A 79R and 78F is definitely stronger, not to mention the more serious popping sticks like a 79H.

From a forum perspective, I am simply keen to ensure that we do not end up confusing or mis-informing members who are seeking advice on what maybe an expensive purchase.

If it swims; I want to catch it!

I think Nathan said he had "tossed and turned about" rather than "tossed and turned with".. .i.e. thought about it a lot, rather than used it a lot?

For what it is worth I do not think I have ever seen an Infinity 80 in action nor in a tackle shop!

I have seen them in a tackle shop in New Cal last year when I was there,that's where I had a feel of one and said the rod has a lot of power to it..
I tossed and turned about it due to another rod I have already is very similar to it..

Thank you guys for the helpful info.

Guess now i just need to check and test the rods, whichever will suit me personally.

Happy fishing and have a great weekend.

Hi Henry
Did you end up purchasing one of these rods?
If so I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on them.

Cheers
Bob

Hi Rob,

I am going to Singapore in a couple of weeks time. Will do the shopping there. Surely i will report back. I am going to test the rod in my early January fishing trip.

Pair up the Ultimo with Twinpower 12000. Test it yesterday.

Excellent rod, very light, easy to cast. Very satisfied.

Good to hear Henry.

If your Indonesian fishing travels are ever likely to include Bali, give me a shout.
