CARP RODS

[Johan9255]

I HAVE NOTICE ONLINE AND IN FISHING MAGS THAT THE RODS ARE SAID FOR (EXAMPLE) TO BE 12 FT 3LB OR 2.5LB. HOW DOES THAT WORK. CONFUSED. ANY HELP APPRECIATED. I FOUND OUT ON FRIDAY U ACTUALLY GET A SHIMANO TECHNIUM CARP ROD. ARE THESE ANY GOOD? WHAT WOULD THERE RATING BE AS ONE TIP IS 25-100G AND OTHER 50-150G.

What the 3lb rating means is if you hold your rod flat parallel to the ground and suspend a 3lb weight from the tip the rod will bend 90 deg so the tip will point straight down.
So it basically means that a 2lb rod bends allot easier than a 4lb rod.

Maklikste is maar om in die winkel te kyk op die pakkie. Dit staan gewoonlik daar. Dit verskil soms van een vervaardiger to n ander.
M00 is die ligste en dan word dit swaarder soos die nommer groter word. Meeste van ons hengel maar met M1. Onthou die bol moet nie te groot wees nie anders gaan jy afgooi. Alles in proporsie.

Beste sal wees om saam iemand te gaan hengel en hul kan jou al die dinge wys. Dit maak dan ook baie meer sin as jy dan self probeer.

Sterkte en geniet die hengel.

Hi TimJan

I need to ask this ... Is it the breaking point or is it how much weight it takes to bend the point to 90 deg

 

Thanks

Hi tadeo

Its the weight it takes to bend it 90deg on a dead lift.

Later

The techniums are good, they cast well and the 25-100gr tip plays fish nicely, one drawback though,  the rods are heavy in comparison to similar rods. Also finish on the rods could be better in my opinion (I have the 12 ft)
