Subtropic Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already done that, the rod is discontinued and no info from them. I also tried messaging them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard. It’s definitely 8’ and feels really responsive. It’s move chunky than my 6’ shimano raider which is 1-3kg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropic Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited October 23, 2021 by Rebel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
