imax rods by Henry gilbey

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Hi Kleeneze
A few of the lads over here are starting to use them, for casting and fishing. I haven't personally used one but have been told they are good rods.
The only bad thing is that the 5 stroke 6 is known to have snapped about 18"-24" from tip. I know of one snapping on the casting court and one while fishing.
My mate as a 4 stroke 5 and a 5 stroke 6, no problems.

Hi Kleeneze
They retail at £139.99 for the 2-4 up to £159.99 for the 6-7.
But that is without any discount that some lucky people get :(
