With the recent demise of my HRF rod (bushwhaker) I am on the market for a new rod.

The problem is I have less idea now which rod to get than when I first started with HRF so i would be keen for some suggestions from you guys who are out there and using different rods.

Another whacker or Shimano dropshot. Both excellent.

 

[John-Paul Wakeford]

**** recommended the Shimano dropshot also, do you think this is better than the bushwhaker as its a bit more expensive I think?

 

[Keith White]

It's different.

It's got alot of low down power and can handle lighter heads + lures.
Is more sensitive.

out of the 2 ?

7ft vs 7ft versions

dropshot for me but the whacker is a great rockfish stick. I don't use it for Bass though.

Deoends what you want to spend JP!! i will always recommend the Infeet but that's £150 at current fx rates and then if you can find one.

 

[Keith White]

Infeet is awesome but like rocking horse poo.

 

[John-Paul Wakeford]

is the infeet not more LRF, I thought it was rated at 2-8 grams or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Doesn't say they are out of stock and can add to basket?

cheers

The one i kept finding in google was the LS version 1.8g to 7g

Well due to the bass being around at the moment i dont fancy waiting for a rod from Japan and I want to get out tonight.
So I popped out at lunchtime and got a new bushwhaker, hopefully i wont break this one.

Going to give it a go tonight me on lures and my dad on the live eels in a bit of a head to head. Just hope we find these fish.
