4031, RE: Rod question for Larry Heron & his calico clan Posted by , Tue Nov-20-01 09:09 AM
Thanks to everyone. My main problem is still availability of the recommended rods. My previous list of choices only included available rods.Here are my availability problems.
1. I have not found a Shimano Calcutta rod in the SB area or in a catalog. Where can I find it?
2. All but one of the Allstar rods that I have seen are 7'. I found one 8' Allstar rod. It is rated at 12-30, but does not have a lure weight rating or other information. Is this the Allstar rod that is being recommended for 15 lb, 1/2 - 1 1/2 oz.?
3. The only Loomis rod that I have seen that is close to the recommended specs is 7'10", 10-17 lb, 1/4 - 1 oz, X fast, power "Mag M". model # MBR941C. Is this too light for 15 lb, 1/2 - 1 1/2 oz,?
Thanks again.
Bob
