Major Craft Volkey & KG Evolution Rods

I have recently received the Major Craft rods I recently talked about in a post HERE So here is a post looking at the rods as I unwrapped them from delivery. I find it really useful when considering new tackle to trawl the interent looking for pics and reviews, so hopefully these photos will help shine a light  for any of you considering a Major Craft rod such as these.

First up is the Major Craft KG Evolution Hira Suzuki Series KGS-1102HIRA. This rod is 11' with a casting range of 10-45g. This rod is a beast in the hands, and looking forward to using it well in 2013. I don't have a reel for this rod yet, but thinking 5000 size Stella SW;

Next up a couple of casting rods, both under the Major Craft Volkey label. The rods are both one piece construction, but very different from each other.

The heavier of the two is the Major Craft Volkey Big Lake Custom Series VKC-70H/BL. This is a 7' rod, rated 3/8 - 1.5oz (approx 10-42g) It is paired in the photos with a Daiwa Ryoga 1016HL;

The second Volkey casting rod is much lighter, the Major Craft Volkey Bait Finesse Series VKC-69ML/BFS. Again a one piece rod, 6'9 and rated 1/16 - 3/8oz (approx 2-10g) The rod is paired with a Shimano Calcutta 51DC in the photos;

The Volkey rods are ready to go, hopfully targeting some Pike and Perch respectively as the weather chills down Nationally. Hoping to source a suitable reel for the Hirasuzuki this coming week, then it will be a big lure and distance game down on the coast! Hopefully will have some catch reports soon featuring these new bits of kit.
