I just don't understand why they have such a bit range
20 to 50kg is a big difference.

Why not 2 separate rods

When I first saw the rod I was quite surprised by the big range as well...

Well here's a few lures sent to me from "Pointer Lure Project" a kayak fisherman who has been making hard body lures for a couple of years now and is trying to get a small lure business together & sell a few lures. He sent me a couple last trout season to test out on the trout, one of which worked exceptionally well on the trout, it was the "Sergeant Major" lure that caught quite a few trout in a spin session. That lure actually caught my 400th trout for the season.

This morning I received a few more new models to try out for him during this trout season & I'm sure they'll do well on the trout. As we know (trout fisho's) trout can be fussy from one day to the next so what doesn't work on them one day can work the following day.. Anyway I'm pretty confident these nice little 40mm & 57mm lures will catch a few trout.. I'm not sponsored by Pointer Lure Project as I have my own sponsor, just wanted to help promote someone trying to get a small business together.. He sell the lure for around $8-50 each plus postage which varies from the size of the order. Usually around $3-00 for four lures I think it is.. Anyway I thought I'd let you know if you're after a few decent & well priced lures he's well worth checking out..

Here's the website for anyone who is interested in getting hold of a few well priced lures..
