Golden Mean Earthshaker ASC-52 8-10
Submitted by schecky on Fri, 2009-12-18 18:18
Been looking at my rod options for my PE4 overhead jigging outfit...
Came across this earthshaker and it looks the goods
http://www.golden-mean.co.jp/item/salt-water/earthshaker/
...but was wondering if anyone has used or owned the earthshakers or golden mean's in general and could give me any feedback?
Also if anyone knows an international stockist that woud be great!
Cheers

Just got an email from Kasey's mate. They haven't released the heaviest model, the one you want. So far the heaviest is the PE2-4. I'll probably get an email when they're available.

The '56 is still a very powerful rod. I think there's an ASS56 left, if its not gone in the last couple of weeks.
You can push PE4 pretty hard on the it. I would hesitate with the '52 only because its rated for jigs above 200g. Depending on your target and style of jigging, for me I would prefer the '56 if specifically targeting demersals around the 30-60m mark. At these depths I find I mostly use jigs from 120-200g.
Anyway, I haven't spoken to my mate about this so he would have advised you best.

Hmm perhaps I should get the ASC-56, 240-300g is a very big demersal jig.
