Olympic Vigore

I think I want one of these, but I have yet to see the 20 vigore for sale anywhere.

Me either.

I found them, but I am not sure about this seller. Anyone has any experience with them? They seem to offer some sort of international shipping method.

Love to get one of these

First thought as I pulled it from the rod sleeve. A slighly less blingy, 7'6 version of my Evergreen Kaliedo RS Stallion. Light, balanced, flawless construction, simply amazing.

Got in a few casts with a 1/2 jig, possibly the best loading rod that I have. Distance with that Antares was outstanding.

The handle really is not as long as it looks, it's all perspective. I recently have used mainly split grips and it just feels great full casting with a full cork handle. Sensitivity on par with my EG RS, which pretty much means you can distinctly feel anything and everything on the bottom. Not quite Oltre 6'7 M level, but what is..

I feel as though I must have one of these exact rods. It would be used to throw 1/2oz jigs plus trailer almost exclusively. Can you please share how you were able to acquire this masterpiece?

Also, it would be greatly appreciated if you could measure the length of the rear grip for reference. Thanks in advance and congrats on your new rod.

You are a dirty, dirty boy. Do you mind sharing where you sourced it?

Wow; looks awesome. I know what you mean about casting with that full cork handle. After every session with my 904c I think to myself I should have more than one of that ilk. Saw your F1 too btw. Beautiful rods.

that balance is fantastic

Quick question. Are the 2020 Olympic Vigrore rods much different than the 2016 Vigore? I am looking to switch up rod companies and have been doing research on JDM rods. These seem like the best choice for the price. Evergreen tech without the bling. Also, does anybody mind sharing where I can purchase this rod? I only found the 2016 version. Thanks!

Maybe the good folks at TTT can help us get our hands on them

Would be nice. These rods look pretty sweet, and the specs for the heavy sound like the perfect 1/2 oz jig rod.

what are the best sites for this rod?
