Very tempting.....
 
The red coloured one was a bit too "racey" for me though.LOL
 
If I was to get just one, what rod rating would you/Chris recommend for southcoast/kapiti? I have a Saltist 40.

those are the published figures from JM.  But bending both models, it was difficult distinguishing any differences in strenght between them. Mind you, I wasn't putting 29kg of load on it!   These figures can be a little confusing as the high strenght is really a measurement of it's butt power, not the rest of the blank which actually does the work.  The rest of the blank is the most important as it has to be soft enough to handle braid and work the jigs.  You can get high kg lift ratings from a broom stick but it won't work a jig!
 
The new powerspells are very bling...
give it death!

Hey Kevin it was also neat to meet you at last if only for a moment.  Sorry I couldn't spend more time with you as everything was going nuts at that time. 
 
To all the other guys who took time out to visit the booth - thanks guys a real pleasure to put faces to names, Stellajigger & Dave, Ginga & Cam and a few lurkers too! 
give it death!
