k2 Red metal twin tip 15ft

#1 Post by weedave »

hi lads,

at some point in my fishing i decided to try the continental long rod/rig light line approach, with great success and enjoyment i may add.

basically i was thinking of getting another rod in the same style to pair up with the red metal, ideally with two tips as well.

there are a few out there at the min but i was hoping anyone with more experience in this style of rod/fishing could help me out with a few recommendations.

thanks in advance

dave

quite a few long rods on the market, my best advise would be to try as many as possible, some anglers dont get on with some of the 'more popular' models.
