DFM: New Rod
My report today is about our new rod! For casting? For FM? It is called the ESG2!
This rod is a limited edition model in Europe and it can not be purchased in America or Japan (It comes in 2 sizes: 8 ft’ 7 & 7ft ’7). Since fishing in Europe often target big size fishes such as Predators, this rod is made a bit stronger than the ESG rod I usually use. This slight difference will definitely make a difference in your fishing. So I immediately took the 2 different rods (my usual and the new rod) to the nearest ocean and cast with the FM110 to compare. In result… I felt like there are individual preferences and thoughts, but when I cast the new harder/stronger rod (8’7/ESG2) with the FM110, it goes exactly where I want it to go and even goes a little farther than normal. If I were to say what the biggest difference between the two is – the new rod feels a lot sturdier where you can easily cast bigger lures such as the FM130MR & PT140. If I can get a fish to bite, I’ll be able to have more opinions on its actual strength and stability level, but unfortunately it wasn’t that easy… This will definitely be my next project. I’ll be very happy if I can catch a Halibut with this new rod!
