Samurai Infinity rod

[Gofishing]

Hi all, I am thinking about getting this rod...the problem is I couldn't personally play with one. Anyone got one of this rod in their stable and like to comments on it? Looking forward to your comments.

I have 7ft 3-8lb and a 7ft 6-12lb. I use the lighter one for plastics 1/12-1/8, small blades, bents, and medium sized bream type harbodies. I don't feel it would be suitable for jades or little ecogears or heavier type plastics.
The heavier rod is my bay plastics rod for snapper, flathead, mulloway etc.
They are quite powerful and a bit stiffer than the reaction series, but also heavier in weight than reactions.
All in all I am happy enough with them, very pricey though.

I have the 6'9" 2-6lb and use it for plastics ranging from 1/60 to 1/8 and it is awesome, light, crisp, casts really well when matched with the right braid (I use sunline super pe 8 6lb, i had j braid 8lb on it but it didnt cast as well) I use it on rock walls, racks, rock bars generally areas other than flats where casting range isnt important (but it can cast pretty far when needed). I found the 6'9" wasnt as 'floppy' as the 7' 2-6lb. I cant stress how light weight it is. I recently caught a 40cm tip breambo in it off a rock wall and it handled it easily.

Another friend told me the tozrite guide on the 7ft 6-12lb rod is small for heavy leader. He used it for bay plastic as well. he actually change the guide on the rod...do you find running 16lb leader cast well on it? and yes at $500 a rod...I am considering if it worth the coins...also the warranty as well...12 months I read up...if we invest $500 on a rod we should have life time warranty and unlimited to replacement part line the Nitro rod range.

I run 10lb sunline with 12lb leader on that rod with an fg no problems, never tried 16lb so can't really comment.
I was worried about the micro guides at first but not anymore, working fine for what I am doing.

All rods have a 12 month warranty unless stated differently by manufacturer and it is unusual for longer. Most are very reasonable though on warranties as they want the customer to have a good expereince with there product. Samurai do have a expeditor for broken rods that are for case when its not a warranty and they are very reasonably priced replacements. I couldnt rate these rod highly enough and will buy another if I get the chance.

If you dont want to spend the money look at a megabass racing condition, they are almost as good.
