I haven't used one Jonny but they have an excellent reputation. Very reasonable price compared to some of the other rough ground rods on the market.

RT axcellerator great rock rod but only the 13"6 one got mind in ballymena for £85 . I have conoflex and century rods and for the money the rt is the best value.

Have never cast one but had a good look at one in taclke shop and from what I have heard they are great blanks, the only thing that lets them down is the cheaper rings that were used. But if you are sensible and wash the rod down with fresh water, excellent rock rod.

aint seen one in use myself, only in the magazines, i think a couple of years ago mark jones in wales was using one fishing conger and casting at least 5 oz leads plus baits of an unreal size!!!!! so if it cast those baits i seen he was using then it will handle big conger no problem!!!!
