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

Re: Abu Atlantic Rods
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

John1 have a couple of originals and a 484C that still get used regularly, pure quality, you still use yours?

Re: Abu Atlantic Rods
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
the bass/ cod and ray landed with it was something else
the one i have is the one with the screw spigot and cork handle there was 3 types as far as i can remember.
