Got the makings of a nice personal site. Sadly the link to Henry doesn't work, nor does the "my links" link.
You need to just have his web address not yours followed by his.
my links takes you back to about.

nice rod

I also use the k2 titanium extreme. Very pleased with it. So pleased I bought a second. Works well with a multipler. I bought mine mail order from http://www.jims.org.uk. It was the cheapest out of all the on line shops. P&P was a bit steep. 40 euro. I would advise contacting them first and checking if they will use standard post. Much cheaper.

K2 Extreme

#9 Post by drseafish »

What type of fishing do you use the K2 for. I thought it was mainly a match rod, ie softish tip, but allowed you to gain extra yards with a simple overhead cast.
If you use it with a multiplier is it easy to cast short, don't laugh I have always found it harder to cast accurately less than 70 yards with a multiplier and having a longer rod would seem to make this even harder. I ask because match fishing is not all about blasting bait to the horizon as I assume you know.
It would be nice to have a try with one, but this would entail trying one out in a local tackle shop where I assume it would cost much more than to get by mail order.
Any more info on this rod would be welcome.

Hi

This is a UK site which has some decent reviews, articles and the odd very handy tip...

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...
