Id also like to know about the rods, have seen them and they look good, but never used. I have a bunch of other swage stuff and it's all been top notch! |

Mint, yeah i'm trying to decide whether to get a new belt, thinking either the swage or mc works(mc works is $100 more though), mainly for topwater stuff but jigging as well, like 70/30. Are they pretty comfortable? tried any others? |

Hi Pete, never used one or seen one but with a name like that I assume it will last like forever, like you can't kill it like , like it won't die on you at an inappropriate time , like you know you need one. ------------- There are two types of people in the world: those that divide people into two types and those that don't. http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

Talk to Chris at rod and reel, he has done a lot of testing of these and would be one of the most clued up people to talk to about it. ------------- TAS - Its a real disease |

Swage make some of the best jigging tackle around. Their gimbal belts are highly recommended, being non-metal, they are boat friendly. I have 2 of the gimbals. ------------- give it death! |

Quick update I recently bought the L spin rod which I am really impressed with. Works upto 300g jigs no problems and has a great parabolic action when loaded. Big 👍 from me and thanks to Marcus and the boys at Rod and Reel ------------- Tight lines PE Pete |
