I bought this rod to replace my Gunki I broke last year.
I was after a rod that can handle belting out heavier lures. I have a soft spot for kilty lures on some of my marks, mainly for the fact that they can reach distances that other lures just cant. I also use a 35g Maria Mucho Luchir which can be deadly for bass and trout.
So I knew what I was getting and its perfect, absolutely perfect for this. Last weekend in Kerry I was giving it some serious stick and the distance it can cast a kilty is fantastic. Its very responsive too. Christened it on a small bass that took a kilty on the first day. It states it can also be used for light boat work and I have no doubt it could.
It also states "plugs and soft plastics" - Now Im not sure where they are going with this but its not a rod for something like a Feed Shallow or Do-live stick, Xlayer etc, far too rigid for that. I use a 220M 5-25 for this kind of thing.
IMO this is a rod for heavy metal lures, and the heavier end of weighted soft plastics like SG sandeel 42g etc.
