HMG vs non hmg

[shadcatcher]

I decided to use my posoiden heavy on my last 3 outings and then last night I used my meduim HMG. What a difference. I mean the posoiden is a good rod but the medium hmg(bazooka) is in a class of its own.

How did we ever fish before HMG???

I know what you mean,after fishing with my Torium for months,i used my friends new Trinidad 30Dc,dam worlds apart!!I guess it would be like comparing a Toyota Tazz to a Ferrari Enzo,both take you from A to B,but which would you prefer driving?

i beg to differ, got both...

I personally feel you only feel the difference between a HMG and a normal on the heavier rods (personal opinion...people!!!)

I cast just as far with a normal rod than a HMG version.

however the pulling power on a HMG is awesome!!!

Both have PROS and CONS.

I would think that it comes down to personnal choice at the end of the day.

I have both HMG and Non HMG and get the same distance from all of them.

The one advantage of HMG is the weigth compared to non HMG.

The only big concern of HMG is that it does not like small nikcs or knocks. This weakens the rod blank and have seen a good couple of HMG rods break because of this.

That is most probably the biggest concern about HMG vs Non HMG
