I don\u2019t know very much about this fish but they certainly sound like fun! I\u2019m looking forward to learning more.<\/p>\n<p>This is actually my go-to rod weight for much of my fishing nowadays. It\u2019s the rod I use for Snakehead and Jungle Perch as well as SW flats. Comfortably fast and a bit of a machine. We call it a \u201ccannon with finesse\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It has been designed using a true-to-weight 8WT line. Not a 9WT line. So if you go by AFFTA you won\u2019t go wrong. I use SA Bonefish 8 and MED8 as my go to floating lines. Also happy with the Infinity, which I know is 1\/2 line heavy. I\u2019m looking forward to testing a tropical Ballistic 8 soon too.<\/p>\n<p>You can find more info on the HT8 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/index.php\/webshop\/item\/537\/ht-pro-9ft-8wt\">here<\/a>. \u00a0And of course feel free to email me on <a href=\"mailto:paul@sexyloops.com\">paul@sexyloops.com<\/a>\u00a0or WhatsApp me on +60198549552<\/p>\n<p>Cheers, Paul<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A rather more subtle choice of whipping colours compared to Six Pound Sean\u2019s excitement of last week!!
