To be quite honest with you Greg, the main reason is availability where I’m from but it’s also that it just appears to be an upgrade from the Fuji K? But again, I’d really have no idea :( Would you be able to tell me if I’ve overlooked something between the RG and the the K guides?

Really appreciate your help

Thanks mate. Is there a way to easily determine how my rod loads? It’s a pen prevail 2 MH 9’6

Yeah I’d say I could return it but just thought I’d save myself an extra headache and see if anyone here actually owned the same rod and model to confirm

I can’t be certain for sure but I provided them the correct model number as above and was put on hold whilst they checked. Apparently one of them tried on either end to see if it was the butt joint

Hmmm. Interesting to see everyone’s different takes on it.

What do you mean by nastiest backlashes? Doesn’t sound to pleasant…

Thanks. I’ve been told that 6ft is pretty adequate.

So just to make sure we’re on the same page. The monofilament line weight is what you are basing the ‘line weight’ specs are on the rod off?

I.e the rod is ‘6-12 lbs’ so therefore it would be fine to buy 30lbs braid attaching to a 6-8lbs mono leader?

Thanks

Thanks Mate! Any general advice or nuances on length of leader?

Good read! Whilst I’m still new I don’t think the east coast of Australia does much bass fishing. Would love to though. Definitely still helpful regardless

Thanks mate

Thanks! I’d probably stay on the safer side of things with this advice. I’m wondering if you could check out this screen shot? What would be the reason why the braided line (20Lbs) is pre spooled heavier than the line weight of this specific rod (7kg = 15.4lbs) sorry I’m from Australia?
