Hi, have some questions. As usual.

Have anyone heard of the rod PE 1-3 Daiwa Phantom X ? Is it good?

physlo · 27-03-2006, 05:37 PM

Paging for Stickbom, jigging & popping guru to help out neub. If i remeber correctly, Storm Wong has one right?

stickbom! · 27-03-2006, 07:12 PM

The Phantom series have been around for the longest time man... every year got differrent Phantom range... Nicest one so far must be the one with yellow EVA grips

Eh Surf Guru :P , the one Stormy Wong has is a Pacific Phantom BG... he's probably jigging with it in Sarawak as I'm typing this reply

He's pairing the rod with my Pro Gear CS500.

neub · 27-03-2006, 07:27 PM

i see man. How about one that is white and grey with blue butt joint. 8 ft PE 1-3? anyone tried this?

stickbom! · 27-03-2006, 07:31 PM

Is it the latest model

I wouldn't bother buying a Phantom cos it's one of the lower end models... Once upon a time I did consider buying the Phantom for my popping needs but my friends in Japan told me not to

The one I was eyeing could handle lures slightly over 100g and 30lb lines if I'm not mistaken. My friends told me that's a heavy shore luring rod and far too light for popping. Hey if you're looking for a popping stick why not grab Jason's Zenaq

It's a really good rod man

neub · 27-03-2006, 07:32 PM

budget lar... i am nothing but a poor student. haha.

stickbom! · 27-03-2006, 09:06 PM

Dude... if you are going to do it... do it right the first time round. Saves you the trouble of upgrading later, not to mention $ too

Save up slowly lar... no need to rush it.

neub · 27-03-2006, 09:27 PM

yeah.. saving is far too slow sometimes man.. The trips are all beckoning. Btw, when's coffee?

stickbom! · 27-03-2006, 10:13 PM

eh this Saturday you free or not

Ophio and me got date with Miss KBL at PRP leh... maybe we can meet there

If you're going to use the rod for jigging then be careful if the blank is too fast... back breaking experience man

I have the strength of a 1000 man! but the back of a 3 year old.

The 80lb class 7' Saltwater spin blank looks like a real promising popping stick
