Ron Thompson CARBOSTICK boat rods

#1 Post by bigkev »

I bought two carbosticks from veals-60 pounds sterling each
A 12lb class and 20 lb rod, both 7 ft 6 inches in length.
The rods are well finished with fuji rings. The butt detaches just below the reel seat, and the blanks are very light.
I'm really pleased with both rods, but the 12lb rod is an excellent all round boat rod, handling everything from mixed drift fishing to ledgering for tope. The rods have a through action with plenty of power in the butt .
If you cant afford the penn tidecutter or abu suverans(which I cant), then buy these
Nuff said
