Wilson Live Fibre Rod

[Subtropic]

Hi Brains Trust

 

i have only recently got back into fishing after many years. I have a Wilson Live Fibre Trophy rod (RLF32/2). It’s an 8 foot rod given to me as a gift. Does anyone know much about this rod? Obviously the /2 means two piece. The rod does not have a line rating or any other information.

I am trying to work out where it sits with my other gear and how I should best use it.

Thanks in advance

Grant

Already done that, the rod is discontinued and no info from them. I also tried messaging them as well.

It’s definitely 8’ and feels really responsive. It’s move chunky than my 6’ shimano raider which is 1-3kg.

So my bad it’s actually RLF 31/2. Found a website (after searching the correct model) that’s says it’s 4-6kg. Would that be suitable for spinning for Jack’s and maybe Jew fish?

Give it a go. Wilson rods don't come cheap. As you said you are starting again. Nothing to lose.

Wilson rods will take a lot of punishment.

I have two them. Had them for years. Great rods.
