Haven't seen a T curve GT rod in the shops here yet but have heard all the buzz about them. I was talking to the Shimano rep today and apparently they have some in stock. He seemed to think they would retail around the NZD 550.00 mark. At that price I'm still very happy with my decision on Carpenters at NZD 750.00.
Next trip we've planned for the Andamans............and I won't be sharing
but I will be scouring the T&T forum for more tips.
No pics of GTs from the Fiji trip. no one wanted to put down a rod to pick up a camera. Three of us on the boat and we finished the trip with a triple strike which was kind of interesting for the skipper!!. landed all three though.
Now we are all totally hooked on popping and planning to take the techniques back to use on NZ kings.
