sorry must have typed the wrong model number :oops:

I use the F2 and have done so for the past 2 years, great rod, super slim blank and excellent casting and bite detection. Never any problems, for me its the ultimate Match Rod. Gerry's of Morecombe will make up the rod whatever way you like, he puts a lovely finish on them.

[DAMIEN]

[beachcaster]

the tip on the f2m would be no where near that size tournament rods like the zziplex lt bullet ,xtr and such have 4 mm tip but not the f2 lovely fishing tip show up bites very well.the tip on the f2 i would say is an out and out fishing tip.cheers john

what diameter is it then?!!! a tackleshop was th only place i could find info. on this rod and they said it had a 4mm tip?! that put me off buying it because it's too thick! can anyone tell me what it is?? can the rod cope with clean beach doggies?! thanks.

[DAMIEN]

hi mark you could find the info off http://www.gerrysfishing.com

I just measured the tip and its is exactly 3.5mm. Mark, its no way a thick blank at all, especially in comparison to some conoflex and daiwa blanks. Its defo one of the slimest blanks I have seen and used. You are more than welcome to take a cast of mine before forking out on one. Its well able to handle trebble shots of doggies, my biggest fish on it was a 12lb thornie and no problems at all!

i think i'll hold you to that Robert! i have heard really good things about this rod.
