some very good info to make one think

so Craig in your opinion.... grinder setup or magged multiplier?

Personally for Spinning/Plugging and Loooooooong range light fishing ie 20lbs braid on 2-4oz the Grinder

Heavy plugging I go with my 40lbs Fireline on grinder.

I prefer the Grinder for spinning.

1. Because I have them for all my freshwater fishing.

2. They have a faster retrieve than my Multipliers (the ones I have)

3. I never have to worry about an overwind or line control in the cast. This helps to maintain balance and keep you in the strike zone for the few opportunities the fish are there.

4. Those who have fished Rooikrantz on a slow day will understand this, When only 1 school of tail comes through on a day and you throw a nest and you fall short and draw in a chase, your day is a waste or even worse you plug lands on top of the fish spooking them and so destroy everyone else's fishing day....

My personal favourite for Scratching where casts of a maximum of of 120m is required but the average of 40-80m is used then I use my Magged SL30 with 75lbs HMP (0.41mm), the reel has Carbontex Washers in it and it has pulled Spotties, Hounds, Cracker and countless blacktail and stumpies.

Foto's gesien..... Sorry but it's not what I would class as a grinder layout. Flip guide used and guide moved closer to the reel seat, one miss timed.cast.and Burney's going to be replacing another flip guide and the setup from what I can see is going to have a lot of line slap on the blank and I can't see him getting the 180m+ he is desiring from the rod.

I'm sorry but I am very prejudice toward all the international research done to optimise guide layouts of guides for high velocity casting using

High Response, quick memory carbon
Reels capable of dispensing lines at over 300km/h
Braids that are super thin and super supple.

The layout doesn't address any of the NGC principle school

Flip ou.

Drop the flip guide
Choice of two regarding stripping guide:
KW30 or LC20. or if you are rich an RV25.
KW if you are struggling to believe in small high ring al-la LC20.
LC20 if your really want distance.

Hi,
It seems like the posts on grinder rods and grinders are coming down to personal taste and preference. I might be opening myself up to a lot of criticism, but I have a blank at the same rod builder in question. A Poseidon 3H because the blank suits my casting. The brief was simple - if you pay at least R1000 for the braid going onto the reel, why not spend the money on guides and protect the braid. So it has to be low riders. Let's wait a week or two and see what is the end result.

He shoots.
He scores.
Good call.
Its not really about taste.
At least not for me.
Unless I am building a light(er) lure spinning stick, say up to 3oz and 11', its Low Riders that win.
Every
Single
Time.
For shorter rods or those that demand sensitivity on the retrieve, and/or light braid i.e PE2 or less, I use the Braid specific K series KR Concept Guides

Look guys the rod is done very nice but as Enigma said it won't get me that distance that I want I tested the setup this weekend and throw some big baits I am getting it over the drop but I want it to go further. But it is a hole new thing to me was use to toriums so will use the rod so long till I put some heavy pressure on the rod and if I throw the eyes off again then it will be done with the right guides. I am still a bit scared to put in everything I got when I cast but it travels quite a distance at the moment will see when I do how far it goes.
