Gary Howard Custom

[fishing_hardcore]

Went to tackle warehouse today and spent the last of my tax return on a Gary Howard custom 1-3 kg, fuji guides and all the goods.

I have to admit my other rod is a Gloomis(PR842-s2 GL3) and is a strange beast and quite a heavy rod in the medium range, To heavy for light softbaits.

So I like to opt for lighter tackle at times and the GH was my choice, just felt lighter and nicer than the Dropshot that was also a good rod.

I have 3 good rods and that it.

Anyone used one or familiar with Gary Howard's work?

cheers

I have about 10-15 Gary Howard rods here, mostly sabres. Can't fault any of them. Also have a mate who has about 20-25 GH rods and gives them a workout more regularly then I do and they are still flawless.

Good choice. If I had the money I would have a few more of his rods in my collection.

yeah I use Gary Howard rods. I have 30 kg custom trolling rods and couple of 24kg G force rods that weigh under 200 grams each a and come with armour for eyelets they are such a tough rod. what gets me is how the tiniest of nibles can be felt through such a heavily rated rod blank and jees the rods load up nicely and can realy put some hurt on a fish,the only thing I wish they had were longer fore grips above the reel.ther not exactly a budget style of rod but there a mad rod to use I now prefer GH more than the wilson live fibres.

Yeah they are not cheap, about $50.00 more than a Berkely dropshot of the same class.

Actually I have not tried it out yet but I think I will take it surface fishing for Bass this weekend.

I am pretty happy with it though, I held a dropshot in one hand and the GH in the other and the GH just felt so much lighter and better balanced, it looks the good too checkered fibre heritage green.
