Bushido Popping - Cast Weight
Posted by: Ben Hurlstone (120.22.74.---)

Does anyone have some info on the casting weights for the Bushido Popping blanks, 7' and 8' models?? They have weights listed but i dont trust them really, 14oz for the 80lb models seems like its jig weight and not what the rod can actually 'cast'
For example the blackhole nano PE8 blank is rated for lures up to 180g (6oz) and as this is what im assuming to be the closest match (have not handled the bushido) the 14oz (almost 400g) recommended casting weight seems incredibly high

Thanks in advance for your help

The casting weights listed are true to the blank…4 sure!

On the BP86400, the max lure weight is 400g (14oz) so if you intend to cast that large of lures, I would suggest the 600 model.
