I have been fisihing for a while now and never really became a tackle freak. Always stock up every second month.

Went to Suburban spares in Ottey and checked out their selection of rods. Thought I needed to get a new rod for my Daiwa grandwave. checked out their range and its quite a range I tell you. the salesman advised me they had a special on this brand of rod and i thought what the hell let me see. He brought it in the carry tube and its a decent 4 piece(heavy and medium tip). Also vey well made.Took a cast and it accualy gives a little more distance then my previouse cheapy.lol.

Has anyone also used these rods and whats your personal experience if so?

Nothing wrong with the rods. Blue Marlin blanks if I'm correct. Some of there rods are damn ugly, I sent one up to Enigma to have redone after one use.LOL. Other than that they are damn ugly they are good solid rods with a good price tag. But in the end it is your personal choice...

I recently acquired the 1403M (6-7oz) and I've caught a few decent fish with it. The one thing I like about the rod is that it has nice guides for a decent leader...

Hi Ray11

I fish with a Finnor hmg 14 foot 3piece and 10 foot combo. I use the 14 ft with the 7/8oz tip. It goes well with the grinder and with a free spool reel+ the guides are braid friendly+comes with a flip upguid and big guides. I have landed a bronzie of 80kg and 2 black skates of 92.5 and 120kg. The 120kg took 3hrs to land and the rod performed well. I think it is great value for money.

Pitty, I went to Suburban and baught the last 2 they had. Both going to Richards Bay.

I also recently purchsed the 14' Hmg (6 pc) rods, havent had much use of them, been out for 1 or 2 sessions but im really enjoying them, had to up the sinkers though as i found my usual 3 / 4 oz sinkers too light and didnt cast too well.

I have a grinder setup too but find it easier on the 10' (2 pc) setup as i battle with the grinder on the 14' (3 pc) setup, looking into a multiplier for the 14' and then i think it will be bang on!

Hi Ray I have used the Fin-Nor 4/5oz and I use up to a 7 oz sinker on it I have used most rods on the market I own Assassins Blue marlins and Purglass in 14ft and I prefer to use the Fin-nor as a all purpose from catching edibles to sharks and rays. i have been very impressed with the quality Fuji reel seats and guides cant go wrong. The earlier models came out with cheap fitting but the new ones are fantastic rods all round. They do a 7 in one for around R1200 and its a fantastic rod try and get one of these if you can.
