No worries, PM away or email is better [email protected].
I was hesitant to post since it was not Ripple Fisher related but sometimes some info is better than none. After all, it all comes down to personal opinion.
Hijack all you like mate. It's good information on what to expect when purchasing a "nano" rod.
Due to the softer nature, I'm interested to know how they perform with medium/large poppers without having to cut them down?

Again, I find them MUCH easier to fish poppers. I tend to pull the lure out of the water waaaaaaay less. You sort of load the tip as the face of the popper digs in. The rod tends to bend without you knowing that your working. For a popper rod, I am 100% sold on nano.
Stickbaits on the other hand- I can see where you would want the crispness and therefore control of a glass or graphite blank. Not that nano is "dead" but it is soft and may lack the fine adjustments needed for certain baits. I make my own lures and am happy with their action and fish catching ability so my interest lies more in my comfort.
Once I am tight to a fish, I want the rod as short as possible and as comfortable as possible, nano takes a lot of the load off your back.
