If anyone is looking for a premium top end heavy popping/Chugger weapon, I have the following for sale, reluctently:

Ripplefisher FINAL SPIRIT 78XH - Custom Metallic Blue Blank and Custom Grooved Foregrip

Ripplefisher FINAL SPIRIT 79H - Custom Ferarri Red Blank and Custom Grooved Foregrip

Both rods are BRAND NEW and have never been fished, the 78XH still has the shrink on the grips. Both rods mint, as new, never been anywhere near saltwater sadly, or any water for that matter!!

Prices:
 78XH - $1425.00 NZD plus shipping ( Price new $1685.00 NZD )
 79H - $1350.00  NZD plus shipping ( Price new $1620.00 NZD )


Pleae be aware I am in South Africa, so would need to calculate shipping. While South Africa is a pretty expensive place to ship to, shipping from here is pretty reasonable and reliable, and I will use a courier service with tracking etc and be sure the rods are shippend in a sealed PVC tube. Depending on the costs, I'll try split shipping to get these moved.

Unfortunately PAYPAL won't pay into a South African bank account, so we'd have to sort out an alternative method of payment... Alot of you know me from this forum and a bunch of others, I can provide references if you need and I've done a fair amount of dealing with a bunch of you.

I'm sure alot of you are familiar with these rods, and I know the 78XH, if you are looking for an extra heavy Chugging stick, this is a tough rod to beat, and in the metallic blue is a pretty spectacular...and tough to find.

The 79H is a little lighter with regards to power, but still a great PE 10 to 12 rod, that handles chuggers to 200 grams with ease in my experience, and bigger... also certainly handles big heavy sinking stickbaits like Bigfoots etc really well.

 

I'm sure alot of you are familiar with the pedigree of these rods, they are absolutely incredible weapons, beautifully built and a joy to fish with... If you planning a GT popping trip anywhere, these are the tools to have!

 

Here are some vids of the rods in action, courtesy of Nomad Sportfishing:

I'll try shoot some pics for you tonight and post them... I really don't want to sell these rods, so didn't have pics of them, but unfortunately I got ripped off over Christmas by a scam to the tune of $3500 so need to get some cash back somehow, and unfortunately, these rods need to go...

Shoot me a PM with any questions. Prices may be negotiable...
