Thanks guys! What's got me is the cost of the Zaltz. It's only around $200au so it's reasonably priced. Over here my best technique is more of a slow lift and a long pause - not the quick rip style I've seen elsewhere. My main concern was when casting, but if it's fine then great!
One more question. Do you guys use braid joined to a leader or straight through fluorocarbon? The reason I ask is the guides on these egi rods seem tiiiiiiiny and I was wondering whether that would affect casting distance due to having the leader knot travel through the guides. What lb/kg leader do you guys find works best with these small guides? i.e. what's the heaviest you can realistically go?
