It is a Team Daiwa rod. Either a "Amos", "Hellfire", "Sky Flash"or "Bullup". They all use that handle winch type.

Ah Thanks guys. It was scanned from an article in the latest Modern Fishing Softbream.

Cheers

hey softbream you must of posted just before i did.

Josh

Yeah if the clocks right

Ah well we all knew what it was.
Damn i want one now , already got 4 heartland -zs and i want more jap rods.

[Robert B]

Since you guys seem to know a bit about the Battler rods which ones would you pick for a soft platic and a hard body rod?

Cheers,
Rob

Couldnt tell ya rob and i dont think many blokes in aus could tell ya either. I only know of them because ive seen em on a few jap sites. I dont think many guys on here have actually used one though. Youve already got a stack of heartlands aswell dont you, what you need another couple of rods for

[Robert B]

Im a hopeless tackle junky And they do look sweet. I probably will get one sent over. Cant resist myself :P

Rob

Dantheman, better than Loomis? From that photo, the handle looks a little long for single handed spinning.

Doesn't that rod comes with weight balancer butt.
So U can adjust removable weights in the end of the butt according to the weights ur using??
Something in the order of counter-balancing??
