Carpenter : Gamma "γ" 120-220 vs Maihime "Princess Dancer" 120-220 vs Gen-Ei "Ghost" 120-225

Got few friends who ask me the difference between γ-120, Maihime 120 and Gen-Ei 120.  First answer is I am not claim to be an authority in the field of rod, lure and equipment testing.  Should refer to official Carpenter site.

Anyway, below is just my feedback.

Both γ-120 and Maihime length is 220mm while Gen-Ei is 5mm longer.  I feel that Maihime  has the biggest head shape, followed by γ-120  and the smallest headshape is Gen-Ei.  Need to buy a vernier scale to confirm the exact size.

Balance wise, all = more or less the same.  Blue is γ-120, middle is Maihime

Length =  bottom Gen-Ei is 5mm longer

Notice the placement drilled hole. Left is Gen-Ei, middle is Maihime, right is γ-120

Tested all 3 with TBL80/30, Stella SW14000 loaded with Powerpro 80, leader Fisherman 150lb and Decoy Saltwater 6/0 hooks + Carpenter 250lb splitrings.  Found that Gen-Ei has smaller and tighter sharper  "S" swim compared with γ-120 and Maihime.  Both Maihime and Gen-Ei are relatively easier to "play".  Both Maihime and Gen-Ei heads tends to broke surface faster than γ-120.  γ-120 produced the thickest bubble trail due its "dive" action.  With Gen-Ei, i can "chug" fast at the highest speed.  γ-120 has more body rolling action.  Maihime can be played with shorter pitch compare to γ-120.  Well that is just my feedback.  Hopefully i can make a video to explain more clearly.

Please refer to below links of Carpenter official site.
