I also have an Ocean Angler Microwave V2 but found I always went to the Yeehaa as it seemed to transmit bites far better (higher grade carbon???) Extra length has appeal but I want the feel that the Yeehaa had...
What do I get? what should I look at? Would be great if stores had demo rods as having someone hold the tip while you load it up in store is nothing like feeling a fish on the end of it... and tells me little about bite detection. |

New question 3000 or 4000. 4000 has more line capacity and 11kgs drag vs 9kgs but is 35grams heavier which I think is sweet FA. Thoughts??? Update: bought the Vanford C3000, very impressed. Got hit hard the other day by some very large kahawai and it performed flawlessly. Thanks for all the advice. |

Just out of curiosity, what made you go Vanford? P.s. i think I'm asking that, cos i haven't figure out yet the diffrance between those two |
