hi guys what is the max weight sinker the purglass

[seelan reddy]

hi guys what is the max weight sinker the purglass 400/2 one piece can cast thanks

 

[ignatius]

I usually cast a 7oz, but it can handle a 8oz if the bait is not too bulky.

 

[Moyeni]

the Purglas 400/2 can cast anything between 4 to 7oz sinker.Remember if you are throwing a BIG bait consider using a lighter sinker....

Otherwise a "possible" breakage.....

i was always under the impression thet the "/" figure is doubled to indicate casting weight making the /2 a 4oz rod ? Not so?
a /4 is rated 8oz max etc

I casted a few 7oz sinkers with mine, but feel the most comfortable with a 5oz. Also seem to cast further with a 5 than with a 7.

[willem wikkel spies]

400/2

should go good with 6 ounce.
7 ounce with light bait.

400/3

Spot on,same here!5oz hits that sweet spot with the 400/2.

Anything above 5oz doesn't get me same results when casting.

I have the 400/2 as well, and cast with 6oz and some times with big baiits and no problem at all, very nice rod for surf and rock fishing

 

[Mango]

I had a /3 and it did not work with more than a 7oz sinker dont know if the new and old specs are the same best would be to PM Enigma and ask

Guys

I have been using purglas for many many years!!

I have a 400/2  the cast weights are 4 to 6 ounce, 5 ounce with bait being best suited for the rod, 6 ounce with small baits are good, dont over load the rod then the next topic will be " 400/2 purglas broke, wont buy one again"

lol... have to agree! I use a 400/1 with a 3 to 4oz sinker max, depending on bait size I'm quite sure the 400/2 would be suited to a 5oz, depending on how far you want to cast and your casting style one can vary the sinker weight quite dramatically, just don't try winding it! I have cast 2oz and 5oz with my 400/1, not very far I might add.

I have a 350/3 and find a 7oz the most comfortable/efficient to cast with ( small baits)

 

[old salt]

Hi Seelan

Takes my advice please MAX weaight on the new stroke 2  is 5-6 the old ones 7 anything more will cause breakage i have had many of them over the years form old to new.

Purglas wil eb now releasing an HMG in 36 ton after many years of T24 production.

If i must really wind an 8 oz i will deff give you 2 or 3 parts in a stroke 2 that was originally a 1 pc

buy a stroke 3 its more versatile from 5 to about 7 oz if you want to get max performance in terms of bain and sinker

The 400 series takes a lighter loding than the 350 series

400/2 is a 3-6oz rod with 5oz being the optimum. You can lob cast an 8oz but not cast an 8oz.

400/3 is probably the better all round rod as old salt has mentioned but also up to 7oz

Want to go with 8oz and bait and be able to nail it then a 350/5 or 400/6

I'm busy testing a 48T 400/4 that has a single layer of T24 in it. The Rod's probably the equivalent of an old /8 with the same sort of elasticity in the tip.

Sigh ..........

ya gonna Make Me give this Darn Thing back ,i feel so guilty having fetched it ....

Learnt to cast on an old Fg job from purglass , meeting up with the model after it , but before these "newer" blanks , was like driving down gladstone street in pe .... Brought back Memories .

Mango , what a treat to take this Lil sucker to a Deserted beach and unleash a cast .The Loading Of a Purglass , especially these ""old-school"Blanks , is nothing but a pleasure .

yoh !

I's originally gunning for a /2 as the ultimate single-piece edible rod , but for our local conditions , My needs of casting a 5 oz ,as to the  Reality that currents Prevent me from not always being able to do this , have now led Me to believe the /3   6.5 , 7 0z was always waiting for me, in the wings ... and Once I'd gone down the old road-man whatta rush .

Throws like an absolute Dream .Hugo , you are the Man.I'm in your Debt .

Enigma Knows Best .

just My 2c .

 

 

[purglaspete]

a lot of a rods capability is also down to the person using the rod and how they cast. Ive done a lot of tournament casting with purglas rods and weights ranging from 18gramms up to 300gramms and had some good results from them for myself I found the two piece 4004/6 or 4004plus two extra wraps one of the most versatile rods that I have cast with you will most probably call it the 4006/
