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

Re: k2 Red metal twin tip 15ft
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.
Not the BigPhil from Irish Angler mag, I'm the original, i swear!!!!
