At a shoot this weekend I was chatting to a top rank factory shooter about my Apex8. He said he was going to get one for the indoor season. Anyway, he pointed out how much my long rod flexes ( 30" cartel carbon with 10.5 ounces on the end) and that a totally stiff longrod, like his Doinker Platinum HI-mod, would improve on how steady my hold is.
I rushed home and looked up the price of this shiny new toy :jaw-dropp and his other recommendation, b-stinger premier+, made me wince.
My question is, will a flexing long rod affect stability? I'm not talking fishing rod whipping here. I can get my cartel to bend about 20mm if I grab it at both ends and really heave. The principal of what he's saying is that a small tremor along the arm will cause the longrod to flex, which will move the end weight and cause a pendulum effect. Do you agree that such tiny movements will make a noticable difference?
If this is case, can you give me any recomendations for a super stiff longrod that doesn't require a mortgage?
