![]() Nice rod ,killer blank,great attention to detail in the thread work and finish but built with too few guides and an insufficient guide train. I doubt I will ever need anything stronger. ![]() Yet the ratings and action is reasonable. They have been in our rental pool for 3 1/2 years now and we did not see one break. A BH CC 7'6 or 8 is virtually unbreakable unless you do something rellay silly. Think it well, don't waste your money and pleasure. As far as I've seen they are counter-productive to most people. My conclusion is that most pe10 rods, and the strongest rods out there are highly specialized rods that 99% of us don't need and can't use properly. And if they use a correct drag setting fir the rod, it ends up pointing at the water on the first bigfish, so basically the rod and it's power end up being totally useless. poppers for any prolonged period of time, they always end up throwing lures that are under-sized for the broomstick), bad animation, etc. ![]() Why would I bother with something stronger when I can't even max it out ? Mr Universe or Fukui San may have a different view on this, but so far I see 95% of my clients using rods that are overkill for the drag settings they can handle, the only results are more lost fish (rod not bent as it should), more tireness, less casting distance (as most people including me can't throw 200gr. For example, I prefer the BH CC nano 7'6 over the 8' cause I don't need the extra strength, the 7'6 can handle every bit of me, and is a little more comfortable, less tiring and animates better. At some point, some should wonder why they want such strong rods. Personnaly I found that as long as used properly, I can't break any rod (properly) rated over pe6, even with silly drag settings and giving it all I have. retailers,builders etc who are active competent anglers will identify the benefits /disadvantages of individual rod designs at a common pricepoint to buyers, & create in-house designs for their own shopbranded product that are optimised for the duty intended.Ĭommiserations RPDP in not having a local specialist tackle shop handy you can talk to & play with different rods in hand.Ī little off-subject, but it may help you avoiding a mistake. Thirdly, the main reason guide numbers are reduced is to manage rod price thru price of components & labour cost.not a desirable concept to maximise rod performance & durability.but manufactures/builders are competing at a market pricepoint. Secondly, this applies to all sized rods. as well as manage stress on the blank under fighting loads & fighting angles. While this might be true and important when throwing heavy poppers on long rods,įirstly, the heavier the lure the more guides are required to protect the blank from tip loads in the cast, rotation of the rod in the casting action produces "highstick type" loads on the blank tip( but typically not as extreme as 'real' highsticking. My understanding for the lack of guides is to reduce overall weight.
