May 20, 2012 · I had Cod 5 & DC 6's, fibreglass models with 8 1/2ft tips and 5ft dural butts at the back end of the 70's - first semi-carbon rod I got was a Pateke Morton SC6 around 1982, so I'm guessing that was around the time companies were starting to …

Nov 21, 2010 · It's obvious which blank you have if you can compare the different versions side by side, but someone with experience will tell you that the Cod 6 has a firm through action, with the Cod 5 noticeably softer. The Cod 4 would be like a Bass rod. Semi-carbon versions were an update, but that was just a fillet of carbon blended into the lower tip.

Apr 26, 2020 · The phantom 4/5 was a 12 ft rod optimum lead 125 g . The extra I think was 12 ft 6 or possibly 12 ft 9 .
