Hotrods swizzle stik elite

hey guys,
Very close to puting an order in for one of these babies and was wondering if anyone has any comments on the rod? I've used millers for a while now and it's time to broaden the horizons. any help in making my decision easier will be much appreciated.

cheers

Hi Dell, i cant compare to a miller coz ive never used one. But ive had mine for a while now, and cast HB's 95% of the time for bream. Small hb's like from sx40's or even the mx which is even lighter through too 70mm Khamsin Sr casts very well teamed up with my Emeraldas. And it seems to like catching bream in 40's!

Chops' is the originaly designed grip model before FUJI canned the deluxe soft feel IPS seats. new ELITE models are now built using the Deluxe soft feel VSS seats. same format but the new seats are a bit more streamlined than the IPS.

I have the 701ULF with a custom grip and I cant fault it. The blank is exactly what I was after and the build is shmick. The grip turned out perfect and its a one off (for now).

Same as chops i cant compare to a miller but the swizzles handle very well.



I fish every thing from placcies and small hard bodies for bream/trout up to 75mm lipless for the yellas in tight cover, haven't had a yella bust me yet (touch wood) and the good old mud monster the carp good scrappers on the light stuff.

Ok pic time,



Loaded









I really need to hit the big breamskis this year and give the fresh away for a few months i think.

Dell you wont be dissapointed mate, just give Perrie a ring or shoot him an email
