Zeke, I picked my 2nd penn pro powerstik, up from torbay angling for £55.00, just after Christmas :shock: :shock: :shock: incredible deal. In fact they were so helpful when I wrang, they didn't have any in. The guy went and bought one from another local angling shop, and sold it to me at the price he had originally advertised, and yes it was the above model! My mate has a 525mag matched to a powerstik, and loves it. It is a very light rod, and a sensitive tip, for lighter bite detection, but still cast a good distance.

I have the Diawa Grand Wave Surf 16ft and its a lovely piece of kit. Softish tip yet yields loads of power and can fling a 7oz if needs be. Coupled it with a Diawa Emblem Pro and I'm very impressed.
