At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Mike Ladle 11' 2pce Surespin rod and a Shimano Technium 5000

#1 Post by Rhonin »

I bought these two recently off Veals but didn't get a chance to try them out until yesterday evening. I had been looking for a good spinning rod and reel and decided to go for these.
When they arrived I couldn't believe how light they both were. I was a bit concerned at the size of the reel compared to what I was used to but I needn't had to as it is a joy to use.
I went to Raghly in Sligo yesterday and fished off the rocks there. Casting was dream and I was getting good distances even against the breeze. The reel is really smooth to use and seems to be worth the money. Unfortunately I didn't catch any fish only a lot of weed :lol:
I'll keep ye posted to see how they handle once I catch some fish :lol:
