This is a discussion on FS-GT78XH compared to a SP-78UHL within the Popping Style forums, part of the Saltwater Fishing category; I've just got my custom ripple fisher which took more than 4 month waiting time. I'm going to try it ...
I've just got my custom ripple fisher which took more than 4 month waiting time.
I'm going to try it during the weekend. It is very stiff but I guess casting wise I'm going to be able to cast 100-220g+ with it.
My stella 18000sw has a 20k spool mounted with 130lb line on.
Out of curiosity how does the UHL compares to the 78xh?
In terms of power?
The UHL is still stronger in terms of lifting power. and the UHL has a faster tip as well.
XH feels light becos most of its weight is nearer the lower end of the rod, but it actually weighs in at 445g.
I would think that the UHL will handle chuggers above 200g better because of this characteristic.
Only my 2 cents worth.
Have so far fished the UHL before but only pulled and examined the 78XH.
Ta for the feedback. I've just weigh my rod amd its 425g on a digi scale.
Probably from different rod makers... different amount of epoxy used.. haha..
Yeah. I'll try it this weekend and see how it recovers when casting.
