@ Stef

Can you get the T-flex rod off the shelve or is it a custom rod ?

I got mine custom built by Gremlins. They definately offer the best price built up for that rod

Stef I know what you are saying about the R900 dif. on the reels you must shop around.I had a price of R2000 and R2999 from one shop and R1850 and R2000 from the other. You can think for your self where went to.

guys, i dont wanna hijack here, but while on the topic of spines etc.

ever thought of it this way.

a rod made for casting multiplier reels, has the guides on the one side (when casting, the guides are facing down to the ground), but yet, when we are fighting big fish, we are reversing, guides facing upwards. (using the other end, if i can put it that way.

Stef have you got any pics of the non eds you have caught on a grinder?

Fritz · « **Reply #25 on:** May 12, 2011, 04:16:04 PM »

Just checked my Quot from them and I was charged R2195. None the less I still ended up getting the C14 for R2000.

Bit off topic, but do you guys know what the Ultegra 10000 goes for/should go for?

Critter

The Ultegra 10000 is the same size as the 14000 just the spool is not so deep. You also can't purchase a 10000. When you buy the 14000 you get the 10000 as a spare spool. The best price I have seen on the reel so far is R1795. Maybe pm fritz an see where he got his from as he got the new one for a very good price

Fritz · « **Reply #28 on:** May 13, 2011, 08:14:15 AM »

I can get one for you at R1670.00

Andre Laas · « **Reply #29 on:** May 13, 2011, 08:17:17 AM »

Thanks guys! I saw a 10000 at a second hand shop, and was wondering if it was worthwile making an offer (their price was a bit crazy so I wanted to make a crazy offer). But I think I should rather then look at the 5500 as I want mine for heaviuer plugs and for hunting edibles

BigG that is a very nice rod but it not practical enough being 12ft

It has an adjustable winch which is nice as you can set the reel in the most comfortable place you desire for casting. I fished this rod alot at the mtunzini banks as it strong as hell an you just tow the diamonds out with it but that was with wading out and you not trying to cast that far. For deepwater points and wading its a nice stick but from the beach you wont get the distance required with that stick just doesnt have the same action a 14ft rod has

Must be a great rod throwing plugs for GT's

How much does this rod generally go for?

Fritz · « **Reply #37 on:** May 17, 2011, 06:04:23 PM »

Hi guys got the new setup today and here are some photos.

Fritz · « **Reply #38 on:** May 17, 2011, 06:06:29 PM »

And the reel.

Will be testing the rod out in the morning and will let you guys know what happens.
