What do you guys think about Valley Hill? Wouldn't mind more info on them and perhaps some pics of them loaded up. Anyone know where you can buy them?

[Nathan Cefai]

Practically nothing that's why I'm asking.

[Nathan Cefai]

You got any idea where its located ?

[Andrew Poulos]

Saw something to do with seed blanks and Fisherman rods on one website. I'll look again for it.

I've been using my Valley Hill Exploder Mogi Special for a few years now and its my go to rod for heavy jigging.

100lb rated, max drag 16kgs, 300 to 700g jig weight.

Here's a pic of it loaded up

I'm still wondering why you would call a rod "the Exploder"! 

[Chris Tan]

Maybe it was supposed to be "Explorer"? 

[Greg Burt]

For your sake Chris I hope so 

[Jay Burgess]

Thanks Chris, mainly interested in the PE4-6 model but thanks anyway.

Maybe you can check out this link for the Valleyhill range of rods.

I've fished with Mogi and his Grouper Boys over the last 5 years and I've seen most of the Valley Hills rods in action.  Since I don't jig with spinners, I don't have much experience with them except with Mogi's Maori Spirits OH rod.  From what I've seen from Mogi & Co, the rods seem to be good performers that look good and are robust.  One of the guys on my last trip described his ranking of the 3 rods in usage - Valley Hill, MC Works, Carpenter -  but he never tried my Jigging Master!

The Maori Sprits rod is slightly longer than what I'd been used to (5' JM) and the rod seemed soft for a big gun.  Under load it folds away nicely before its butt power comes into play. The MS is an easy rod to jig with and has an outstanding track record in Mogi's hands which proves it as an outstanding rod for big jigs and big fish.

Exploder - sorry, didn't test these.

Chris,

Where did you manage to get this rod from? I am interested in such a rod for doggies.

I don't think any of the guys would have been game to rank the Valley Hill anything but number one on that trip!
