FSU 5162, 1 piece, pac comp

[originalrockhoppa]

Saw this rod for sale, was very tempted to buy it, still might go back and grab it

I’d really like to know it’s actual line class and cast weight rather than coughing up cash then snapping it

I need to cast up to 150g running 10kg

I can make a decent guess but if anyone knows for certain, I’d much appreciate the help, cheers

I used fsu 5120 and 5144 for years spinning nth coast  i think 150 g is probably as high as you want to go if peggin lures  ive thrown heavier lobbing baits   bloody good rods   is it  snyder butterworth  killwell  wilson ???

I’ve got an fsu 5144 had it a long time, from memory that was only up to 10kg 

This fsu 5162 blank is pacific composites

thnx for the reply

I need to cast a max of 150g lead and bait.

The s9177 gets it out a fair way but I’m thinking the fsu might give me a better hook up on the smaller reddies when they’re a bit shy.

Could also be a waste of money too haha

According to various people on Google the FSU5162 is a great rod. Very light and casts a country mile.

I have  MT 8144 one pce. Great rod.

Yeah thnx rebel, it’s nowhere near as heavy as the s9177 I use atm

I love my mt8144 too but don’t use it for distance casting much

I only use 1 piece so I can lower them down the cliff every few metres when I need to, then I can climb with both hands
