500 and Peter Stone Ledger-strike?

Post by Damflask »

Apart from the three part/ two part thing, what are the differences between the two rods?

The Ledgerstrike was designed for bream fishing Damflask and is much more sensitive in the tip than the 500. It is a lovely rod to use but is not give the all-around performance that the 500 offers. If you are looking for a roach, bream and chub rod, there are few as pleasant to use but, if you need to sling a heavier weight or are bothered by carp or barbel, look elsewhere. :Hat:

The Ledgerstrike was also made in 3 sections, like the 500 and 550, and goes by the reference Peter Stone 600 ledger rod.

the Ledgerstrike has seven intermediate rings . the 500 has 5 on a standard rod and 6 on the de Luxe. the 500 has a shorter handle - 24"

I have the 500 - 550 - 600 and 700. All 2 joints with separate handles. So Avon - Carp - Bream - and Pike.

Dave is also correct!
