Berkley Ripple Pro cast question

Post by provocation4 » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:51 am

Hello,

I have a question if this rod is worth 318 Dollar 230 Euro?
I want to buy the 2.40meter long and a 7/28 gram version of this rod in casting version.
I want to use it much for jigging, texas, carolina, smaller hardbaits and for dropshoting this all from the shore of my little lake on pike and walleye.

Grtz Joshua :D

The rod appears to be pretty nice, but you can get the same components on a rod over here for a lot less. The rod features an IM8 blank, Fuji Alconite guides, Fuji (?) reel seat, and EVA handle. But for a little less money (or at least the sight I found offering both rods) that the ABU Fantasista Aozora-Vertic rod seems to offer close to the same features, with some better (like the SIC guides, better for braid).
