I've matched the Kiwi prototype 722 up to a little Shimano Sustain FG1000 as we plan to use this reel for setting up the Aussie version of the 722 rod the Matanza 682 1-4kg.
I'm dying to try the Aussie version which has been designed for their market as well as the Asian market where the butt dimensions are ultra short for one handed all day casting. (see photo comparison)
I will try to get some pic's of the 842 2-4kg Matanza before it leaves as well. The scope for this rod is varied from casting softbaits into the wash from distance to Egi use. jonocoogee wrote: Yeah its pretty nice alright, I have just had to put clean pants on. Bringing back memories of bending it last week. Loving the 2 piece join option, it def gives the rod a more natural bend then a standard 2 piece. |
