[QUOTE="rudd, post: 2431863, member: 18699"] I hope you like it! Took delivery of a Rockfish 19 L (3 - 15g) to complement the revolution last week. Really nice looking rods, would describe as modern looking! Had a Perch of around 1lb on it at weekend and it felt great playing the fish. The feel through the blank is superb (using braid main with fluro leader) due to tubular tip, can feel allsorts along the bottom with a slowly retrieved jig, I even struck when a small jig hit a leaf!!! I even felt a bite on the drop with a 7g jig and fox zander shad in 20ft of water with a side wind pulling on braid. Also felt good with size two mepps spinners and a few spoons, could feel the lures vibrations. You may ask why I bought a second rod when happy with first? Its simple, the revolution UL has a spliced in solid tip acting like a quiver tip and is good for drop shot, small/tiny jigs , bites on the drop or close range work. The 19 has a tubular tip and has more feel to it and is good for jigging a rig by bouncing it, or a slow bottom retrieve with ned/texas/California rigs, a swimming retrieval with a shad or light metal lures. I have set it up with a 1000 shimano exage and 8lb hto braid. The two outfits compliment each other and allow me to fish any perch rig needed to suit swim, conditions (including light level) and size of fish expected. The Drennan spin cast with a 2500 reel I used to use for all lure fishing will have the old 8lb braid replaced with 12 or 15lb braid and used for heavier applications -Jack Pike, MRF using bigger metals, poppers, spinnerbaits etc. [/QUOTE]
