FOR SALE - 450g-650g Spiral Wrapped Jigging/Casting by PRO Challenger

[Ron Jones]

Alan, I love your products, so please understand I am just looking for data. The MEX has the Okuma Cedros jigging rod of similar size to you r lighter rod. The Exchange can beat your price by a bit but I am happy to go with yours if it is the better rod. Can you describe the differences between the two rods?
Thanks!

Hi Ron,

I totally understand where you are coming from. First of all, I have to say "Thank you"  to you by saying you love my products.

I believe that your question is not about this 450g-650g spiral rod, right? It is about the other one I have (250g-350g).

The difference between the Okuma Cedros and mine (250g-350g) are following items:

1.) Okuma uses MXN guides while mine uses XN guides. XN is medium heavy (30-50lb) while MXN is medium (15-30lb).
2.) I believe that Okuma uses ALPS Tri reel seat while mine uses CAH-18LX (centra-lock) reel seat.
3.) Okuma uses China E-glass blank while mine uses Korean carbon fiber blank.

Those component items cost little more than the other rod.

Thanks,
--Alan

Thanks Alan, that's exactly what I was looking for. With the heavier eyes and the carbon blank I think your rod is superior. It will be perfect for my Marlin Special with your 4.0:1 gears.

Hello Alan, I may have missed it but what's the length of the 250-350g rod? You also said that it is rated to 60-100lbs but the guides are 30-50lbs class, please enlighten me. Thanks.

The 450g-650g (this posting) uses the Fuji HD guides. The 250g-350g uses the Alps XN 30-50lbs class guides. The posting for that 250g-350g is following: http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=8291.0

I hope that I answered your question.

Thanks,

By right hand, you mean for a reel with the handle on the right, correct?  Are you going to be getting any more, or do you have something similar that is also spiral wrapped?

There are some people that if the reel handle is on the right hand side, then the guides on the rod should turn to left. Then, some people believe that it does not matter.

I still have this rod which the guides are turning right.
