One final decision..

Post by D.ner » Sun Mar 18, 2007 1:01 pm

Hey guys,

I am thinking about purchasing a MB rod from Plat.
I went through the descriptions on mb.com and there are two rods left which should fulfill my expectations.
Together with an Alphas ITO AI with SIC bearings, it will primarily be used for Jerkbaits from Jackall Squirrel 76 up to the 110 Smashing Minnow, but also for crankbaits like the MB Cyclone...in other words lure weight about 1/4 to 3/4 ounces.
I am not sure which rod should do a better job...the F4-63X POWER GRIFFON or the F4-66X CYCLONE. A friend of mine is fishing the first rod but that's no help if there is no possibility to compare.

What do you think would make a tacklemonkey-infected boy happy;)?

Tight lines,
Sandro

I don't have any experience with either, but hopefully someone will chime in soon.

Id go with the F4-65XDti Cyclone Evolution for what you mentioned. Its pretty much the same as the Elseil just some inches shorter in length and yes :welc: to TT.
