13 Rod users / owners
So am considering a couple of rods from the Concept 13 range.
Unfortunately, we don't have a seller here in Adelaide that I can go to for a look & feel. I realise that the blanks are stiff, but how stiff? Anyone care to compare them to something else they have used, say a gen Black Itchy Twitchy. Or even better a 2-4kg T-spec The rods I am interested in are; Omen OBSA71L 7'1" (217cm) Med-Fast 2-8lb OBSA610L 6’10” (209cm) Fast 2-8lb ENVY EBSA610L- FG 6'10" fast 2-8lb EBSA71LM- FG 7'1" medium 2-8lb I am also wondering if these might be a little too tippy, warranting going up a spec to the 4-10lb models. Also wanted to confirm that there are no microguides.

In terms of 'stiff-ness', the 6'10" was a little stiffer due to it being a fast taper (whereas 7'1" was medium), I personally thought both didn't feel too whippy. I had a 4-10lb Omen Black and I thought it was a little too stiff for bream fishing... If you are chasing bream, both listed Envy Black rods are perfect, I never had any issues with them and caught many fish including some good sized Jacks - all handled with ease. Hope that helps (p.s. I have no affiliation with 13, so no bias just my honest opinion) Oh and I will add that 13 have excellent customer service, so you're safe if anything is to go wrong |

Hey guys.
Anything with an 'L' designation is one i designed specifically for bream fishing. In the OMEN Blacks there is the 610L and 71L In the ENVY Blacks there is a 610L and 71LM (the M stands for Moderate) OMENs use a 30Ton graphite, ENVYs use a 40Ton. I use the longer 71 models for any lures with treble hooks. So hardbodies, cranka crabs, blades and topwaters. I use the 610 models for fishing soft plastics. The 610 models are slightly faster than the 71 variants. Any specific questions let me know. |

i use and own both of the envy rods ,you have mentioned,and a few others from the range.awesome bream rods imo. dont think you will be disappointed with a purchase. i personally love the full cork grip,models,extremely comfortable to use.
i live a few hours from Adelaide,myself.and these rods do well for all our local species,also accounted for a few metre mullys from the kayak,so they have the grunt when needed. cheers, hutch |

These rods are designed in the US with models brought here to suit and seem quite excellent. Only thing that held me back is the lack of a 2 piece. I would get one if they were more transportable.

Same. If they were 2 piece I'd be an owner by now .... I'm still tempted though lol
