Anyone heard anything or using these new Atlantic Rods that could give an honest opinion on them?

if they are anything like the original atlantic 484 they should be good, i have one here that was bought in around 1977 and it's still a decent fishing rod :wink:

i think the last time i used it was about 10 years ago.
my late father bought it back then paired with a red abu 7000 top of the range back then :shock: the bass/ cod and ray landed with it was something else :mrgreen:
the one i have is the one with the screw spigot and cork handle there was 3 types as far as i can remember.
