Question on rods
Submitted by dogsoldier on Sun, 2007-04-15 17:37
Looking at getting either a Nitro Magnum butt spin 6'6 4-8kg or a Starlo Stix sq spin 4-8kg to be matched to a shimano 4000 stragic or a 4000 catana anyone have either of these and how do they rate them
Thanks in advance

nitro
i reckon the nitro rod would be a much better rod...heaps of grunt through the base and tapers out at the tip with a good action. two peice which is easy for transport. there a good im8 blank with fuji alconite guide.
such a strong rod.
also the is the gloomis range too look at dogsoldier

Both rods are similar to each other, the Nitro has a bit more grunt (5-10kg). I have the Starlo Stix Pro 5-8kg matched to a Stella 5000FA and its perfect for what I need.
