HillCountryFishing Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Does anyone have experience with Fishman products? I have been looking for a big bait travel rod and this one looks perfect for my applications. Because they’re not readily available stateside, I want to learn what I can before paying for a shipping forwarder. https://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/product_info/language/en/manufacturers_id/173/products_id/73891/fishman/fishman-brist-hydro8-5xxh-free-shipping-in-stock.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jzxmnky Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 They got some really great blanks! that cork and red are just beautiful in person. i have the 4.3lts telescoping for bfs micro baits. That rod handled a 6lb largie with ease. I also have the beams lower 7.3L PE2 so about a 20lb line rod. That thing keeps fish pinned for sure as well. Fishman is a great company with great form and function. I wouldn't hesitate when it comes to their big bait rods as well. The only downside, is that if there is any "mishaps" it will be pretty hard to get a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use Plat to buy yours, or did you buy somewhere else? Everywhere I’ve found is sold out until April. Jzxmnky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
