T Curve Jig Stick performance

[Houndslair]

Would be interested in comments on the performance of the Shimino T curve Jig stick (15-24Kg) as a bottom bashing rod in deep water when a lot of lead is required to get to the bottom. ;D

I have a jigrex in 24kg and the t-curve in 37kg the 24 is good still has a nice tip and has the power. but how much lead are you using?

[Houndslair]

thanks sound like you are happy with it..a couple of size 10 round plus bait..Would the tip be too soft to fish with that weight on board

I use the T-Curve 200 [24kg] with 50lb braid on a Tekota 800 and snapper leads for deep water fishing, as it has a parabolic curve the tip isn't soft at all, you'll love it on good fish.;D

[Houndslair]

thanks... ;D I'll go ahead with it

I Also Use A T-curve Deep Jig 200 And Torium 20 With 30 Lb Braid For Float Lining Snapper And Found It A Lovley Rod And It Has Heaps Of Power To Turn Them Quickly. I Dont Think You Wil Go Wrong With A T-curve 400. I Have A T-curve 400 And Spheros 14000 That I Use For Jigging Ang It Is A Brutal Rod With Some Real Grunt Cant Wait To Hook A Big Aj This Season.

Just bought the T-curve 200 with a spheros 12000 for all my trolling, Jigging and live bait in. After seeing these rods in action I couldn't find anything like it. Doesn't look like much, but plenty of go!

I have been wondering the same thing, by snapper leads, do you mean 2lb?
We only use 1.5lb or 2lb, would they cope?

onerabbit, I usually only need 1/2-1lb most of the time, 2lb might be better on the T-Curve 400 [24-37kg]:-/ , what line are you using?

Where did the onerabbit come from?;D
