Last week my new favourite rod arrived. As always great service from the asians and super fast delivery. Thanks Jigging Master and DHL. The 200g is a real beauty. The red anodized aluminium details is a god match with the black grip and the red and brown/green metallic blank. The finish is impeccable. Its very short, only 5 feet 2 inches, but that will make the fishing more comfortable. The balance of the rod i exactly at the reelseet when the Jigging Master PE 3 reel is attached. We have also tried the Daiwa Ryoga Bay Jigging and it also seem like a perfect match.
Yesterday we tested the drag capabilities and its truly mindblowing how much power this tiny rod has. Its rated to a max drag of 16,8 kg. We only tried half of it, 8,6 kg. That might not sound much but its a lot, more preassure than that and a fighting belt is recommended. This rod will have no problem with whatever fish we will catch in Norway.
Teh weight of it is 310 g but it feels much less due to the excellent balance. Here are a couple of pictures, better pictures will come soon.
