I'm new to the Gram rating. Can someone confirm that this rod is built for 8-10 ounce jigs?
Thanks
Ron
Yes, I don't get the G rating either. Pounds please. My rods are rated in lbs.

It will be fine. It will also works on a 200g jig as well. Please note that this rod are fast action. It is pretty stiff.
Thanks,

250 grams = 9 oz.
OK, so to be clear.
A 250 Gram rod is the rating based on the mass of the lure. Is it typical for rods outside the US to not have a line weight rating?

Typically, yes.
This is more a 30-60 lb line test.
Some will having a line rating listing lb test. Some others will list the PE (polyethylene) rating, which is how they rate braided lines in some parts of the world. To convert PE to lb test just find the diameter in mm of the line. If you only have the diameter in inches you need to first convert the inches to mm and then compare to the chart below.
http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/millimeters-to-inches.htm (http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/millimeters-to-inches.htm)
PE 0.6 ................................ 0.128mm
PE 0.8 ................................ 0.148mm
PE 1 ................................... 0.165mm

I just tried it on my 113H, and it fits perfect.
I know this is an old post but these 350 gram rods are perfect for just about all jigging and bottom fishing situations. The also look cool..!!
We have 2 of them and have had them bent "double" on many occasions with no problems at all. Matched with the Triple reel we have been pulling up some nice Grouper and Amberjack.
I didn't even realize you had a lighter rod...and only in Lefty now. :(

This one is not a spiral wrapped. They are all gone. I have order this rod to be made again, but it will be in spiral wrapped. it should be done by early of next month.
This rod is in stock now. This one is spiral wrapped, and it is not a split bottom anymore.
$139.99 + actual shipping by UPS Ground service with insurance.
I will post some pictures later.
I would like to see one.what do you mean by split bottom.?

This rod used to have a split bottom, but this order I changed it back to non-split bottom.
Here is the old rod.

PM sent Alan I'm going to try this one out.
These rods are still available.
After three trips and 30 rockfish, I believe I like it very much thank you, Alan!
Do you still have a right-handed rod and what is the cost? Will be using it with the Omoto reel I purchased from you. Thanks.
I received both the conventional and spinning version of these rods last week. I would rate the spinning rod for 80 to 200 lb. test braided line. They are super strong and will handle anything out there.
The conventional rod is a big Grouper and Amberjack killer for sure!!
