Yes, some are designed for Carp fishing and the Sling shot series is designed for US surf fishing. Can the Carp rods be used for saltwater striper fishing...of course and many models are and are VERY capable of fighting BIG fish. I use Sling Shots and also the Stealth, Spod and SP which are U.K. carp models. There are dealers in your area, check them out. |

Got my 11' S2 from Mike yesterday. If any of you guys have thoughts of having a rod built, PM Saltheart. I couldn't be happier. What a beautiful job on a beautiful rod.

Funny reminder.
My first trip to Block, miserable black rainy night, I scramble down to the SW corner with my new custom 1322 and super tuned Abu. First cast with a big swimmer into the wind, the plug goes sideways and I get a backlash the size of a football.  Takes me 45 minutes to get back to the truck and re-spool.  Soon as I'm back to the mainland it's off to Roy's to tie up another on for spinning.  |
May fortune favor the foolish....

Thanks, good to know. It's funny, I consider myself at best an amateur fisherman, but an absolute begginer when it comes to knowing anything about rods or reels. I usually just take whatever has been handed down to me, given to me or whatever ugly stik and okuma I can afford and call it a day. I really need to attend some sort of club meeting or seminar to start getting a better idea of what and how to use my gear. |
