After much thought, I've decided to take one of these rods on my next trip - mainly because I can use my existing Pike fly reel which wouldn't have been possible with a rod of #10 or more.
Has anyone used this rod and do you have any opinions about whether it is better suited to a #8 or a #9 line ? -------------------- Species caught in 2010: Barramundi. Giant Trevelly. Moray eel. Indian sea catfish. Mangrove Jack. Deccan Mahseer. Humpback Mahseer. Chub. Brown Trout. Perch. Bass. Pike.
Species caught in 2009: Chub. Perch. Pike. Pacu. Giant Mekong Catfish. Thai Striped Catfish. Species caught in 2008: Barramundi. p-i-k-e-y sea bream. Indian sea catfish. Guitarfish. Mangrove Jack. Mahseer. Squid (Not strictly a fish but it took a lure !). Emporer Sweetlip. Black Spot Snapper. Moray eel. Spangled Emperor. Bluecheek silver grunt. Yellow striped emperor. Vanikoro sweeper. Pike. Perch. Brown trout. Chub. Atlantic salmon. |

Don't do it Ken. They're notorious for loose joints and breaking. If you must use one I found it best with a #9 line, but then again I have quite a 'lazy' casting style.
