lox vs t curve

[kaleidonova]

how does the lox yoshie compare to the t curve t series

[madkeen87]

i do not know what weight you are wanting to compare and i cannot comment on the Yoshi range of rods. however, i do own a Lox Iridium 4-6kg rod that i use for snapper etc. its has a soft yet quick tip but loads of power. i find it alot sharper with a much faster action than the T-Curves that i have played with. It does come down to personal taste, and i prefer a rod with a faster tip and taper. whereas for me, the T-Curve series seems a bit sloppy. Thumbs up for Lox rods. I am impressed with mine.

i cant say but i own a t-curve t series it has alot of power and i'v certanly pushed it to its limits with some barra, but i really cannot compare to the loz because i havn't owned 1

which t curve are you comparing the lox mate ? The lighter t curves dont have a fast enough action for me but the estuary jigspin i own does so it really depends on what one you are talkin about i guess.

spot on there mate

g-loomis kills both but if you had to pick one ill say the shimano t-curve. p.s. im guessing its a 2-4 kg since this is a bream site.

[kaleidonova]

t curve 1-3kg and lox 1-3kg soz guys

Everyone's opinion is going to be different. My reccommendation is to go to your local tackle store, feel both of em'. From then on easy sailing Just my opinion but I'd rather the lox over the t-curve any day of the week!

Spot on. LOX is a much crisper blank also.

To be fair, the search function doesn't allow you to do a search on 3 character words such as LOX.

I have a 1-3kg T curve tournament 6'6" and a T Curve T Series 2-4kg 7'... Both noodles. Absolutely no crispness in the blank whatsoever. I find the 7' good for tossing light hard bodies, but that's about it. The shorter rod I'm not too keen on, though it can handle fish well above its weight class.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I do like the 2-4kg T series, just don't buy one expecting it to be anything other than sloppy.

go to google and type this without the quotation marks:

"site:breammaster.com lox"

You'll be able to find it

depends on how you want to use it, the t-curve has a much slower action and is ideal for lightly weighted plastics or sinking stick minnow. it also loads up the whole rod when fighting a fish which can absorb more of the head shakes and lunges from the fish. stiffer, faster action rods are better for swimming hard bodies and larger plastics, the sensitive tip allows you to cast the lures easily while the stiffer section below the soft tip allows you to work the lures through the water.

its all personal choice, go down to the tackle store, mount your reel on the rods, see if you can load up the rods and give them a really good workout. only you will be able to tell whats the correct rod for yourself.
