So we’ve established that the rod looks and feels great in my kitchen, but that’s not even half the story, so it was time to get out on the water and give the Corkish a proper test. I started with a few lures right at the lightest end of the rods casting range. First up was a 2.5 inch Kopyto with a 5g jig head.I figured that should weigh bang on 7g which is as light as the Corkish is meant to handle. Casting was a breeze and although the lure didn’t load the rod very much on the cast, it was easy enough to punch it out a fair distance. On the retrieve the rod was decent, there was enough sensitivity to feel when the jig head hit the bottom and when the wind dropped completely I could even feel the little shad working in the water. To be fair the sensitivity was nothing like I would have had on my Graphiteleader Corto UL rod, but then it’s rated as 0.6g – 8g so it’s not really a fair comparison. After about half an hour of casting and working a few different light lures I found a little pod of perch and landed three of them all around the half pound mark and although they didn’t exactly have the rod bent double, it didn’t feel like I was dragging them out on a poker either. So in summary the rod handles lures of 7g pretty well and is happy enough catching small fish.
If you manage to get your hands on a Corkish it’s going to set you back around ?179.00 (there are over 35 different models and I’m not sure how some of the other would be priced). Which is a decent wedge of money especially compared to the price of some rods by Savage Gear, Abu and Okuma. So does the Corkish offer value for money ? I would have to say a define YES. It really is a beautifully put together rod which has been made with real attention to detail. The components are all top class and I love little extras like the butt cap and the metal trim on the split section of the grip.
The Corkish is full of nice little details like the branded butt cap.
As well as a beautifully balanced rod to work your lures with, you’re also getting something a little bit special that people will want to hold and look at, there won’t be many Corkish rods around so it will get noticed which is nice for the Tackle Tarts among us. This is a rod that’s right up there with brands like Loomis and St Croix in my opinion and when you look at it like that, it suddenly doesn’t seem so expensive.
