I wonder - how is that possible, the reserve was met - surely a legal contract to sell was entered into?

I'd be mighty peeved if I was the bidder!Angry

Thanks all, that information was gold. I rang Leon at offshore today. He explained the lighter action stickbait rods that they have been making. It's 8'6" 2 piece, with a lot more play in the tip owing to the blanks length tapering off that long. He rekons they load up quite parabolically for kingies and work the lighter stick stick baits well. Haha, problem being their first batch got cleaned out. They have another lot of blanks ordered but will be about 2-3 months before they are all ready. Sound the goods so I'll get one then.

Couldn't hold back for a trip this weekend so scored a T-Curve.

Ginga - I had a swing on one of those Monster Mesh. Is the one you talkng about that standard 8'3 200g beasts. I found them really stiff and pretty stiff in the tip as well. Suppose it is one thing having a bend in the shop with the shop person and another being attached to a 25kg king, experience would know.

I use a diawa monster mesh quite a bit for casting light stick baits.
Prefer to use my carpenter when fishing myself but for the charter work the monster mesh has been really good. Not the best for poppers unless they are really light with small faces.

got one of these, Offshore Illusion 7'6 150 - 200g and it's mint, had a crack with the killwell set up last year was also good. Offshore Illusion 7'6 150 - 200g should be in your price range. Put a Talisman on my one and are very happy with it.

Raptor do you know the specs on that lighter rod form offshore. It is not on their site. .Might give them  a ring, but just want to know what model.

That Kaibutsu has been removed.r
 
 Cant exactly remember exactly but was around 24kg and about 8 foot 3 long. What I did like about the one I had a bend on was that it seemed to fold away well which is good for fighting kings that all pretty much head straight down. Some of the heavier GT rods can be bloody hard on your back with kings.Give Lionel a call he may well be doing a bigger range now in what is an evolving area of fishing.

I've had several live fibre and kilwell special blanks made into popper rods in the past. Not sure if I have actually used the kilwell livefibre GT or not though.... I suspect I have, it is a two piece that is in the solomons at the moment, as I will be using it again come january when I head back there. And it is indeed a very very sweet rod. It is a 30lb blank though, not sure what the non-custom rods at rated at..... I guess Nagged on here would be the guy to ask, seeing as he makes them! :-)]]> Tue, 12 Jul 2011 12:44:31 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67863&PID=969036&title=which-rod#969036 <![CDATA[Which rod? : Hi JK, saw them Livefibres on...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67863&PID=969035&title=which-rod#969035 Author: Manoa
