Just to get back to the super slims. The first one I got was a 40/100/400, THREE PIECE The one piece and three piece curve in the blank is greatly changed by the joints. It is a personal preference whether you like the softer action of the single piece or the faster action of the three piece. The rod throws a 4oz to 5oz. I have loaded it with a 5oz and a whole pillie, and still confidently got the distance. What stood out for me, was the way the rod re-acted to a fish fighting. It has a fighting curve that makes you think you starting to loose control, and then the blank comes into action. The curve is actually applying pressure and with in seconds you have control again. I estimate it is good for smaller edibles up to 10kg. A size 16 or 20 reel will fit nicely with the light line. It makes a great scratching rod especially if you need to scratch around a formation that is 120m out.

Currently I have Ultra Light 30-50-430 with a lighter T24 tip. Used for long range freshwater with 2-3oz and will be a monster Gallie rod or to cast 3oz with small bait over 150m with 20lbs Braid 40-100-430 Grinder 40-100-430 Multiplier - Same use as Splasher recommends 60-100-430 for 6-7oz plus small bait 80-100-430 for a Stella 20,000. Rod throws a 10oz but rated for 8-9oz with bait. 100-100-400 which I use a Trini 50 on and that pulls a 150kg Pylie Squint on 0.60mm line. I enjoy the rod's action as it is forgiving in the tip and has monster backbone (all of the models) and they are a pleasure to cast. From the 60- and up the effect of the spiggot joints are not visible between the 2 rods (1 piece and 3 piece) Currently I am building 8 for Australian customers and have clients as far a Japan fishing with the rods. Worth the money you pay but be warned they are not cheap and should not be fitted with cheap heavy components. The xxx-100 range have a T53 (40ton carbon base) T53 (36ton carbon mid and tip) The xxx-50 range have a T53 (36ton base) with a T53-24 mix into the tip and a slightly thicker up the rod and weigh a bit more (on the 60-xxx-430 its around 80gr difference) The xx-50 is slower in action but casts the same rating.

The next size up is the 60/100/430, THREE PIECE. There is a noticeable difference in weight, as there is two heavy duty spigots inserted in the joints, adding a bit of weight to the mid and tip. The single piece on the other hand is as light as a feather. The action is also changed by the spigots. Making the three piece appear to have a faster action than the single piece. Casting the three piece is a breeze! The rod loads positively and there is no feeling of overloading. I loaded it with a 7oz sinker and a whole pilchard or trimmed mullet. The distance achieved was more than acceptable and you could safely keep up or most likely out do the other big name rods. My opinion is that this rods is definitely for the larger edibles, spotted gully's, smooth hound. You get the picture! There is plenty of pulling power to bully that cracker from reaching the razor sharp reef, or turning the rudder on a smooth hound. The final stand off is the unfortunately the cost. From what I am told they are one of the most expensive blanks on the market. They are definitely worth looking at.

The one bait that I put out today, was a 7oz with a 2/o hook (chokka blob with pink prawn). Huh, when I look at my spool after the cast. It only then hit me how much line was out. I don't want to say how much was out, but it was definitely a lot more than with my other custom rods.
