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!

that is getting in to a whole other ball game, any car will get you from a to b but given a choice most people would choose a ferrari over a mini.
My original point was there are those who would pick the zzippy because it was a zzippy rather than for what it can do and the suitability for their personal abilities and fishing needs, and there are those who have to be seen with the 'right' labels and that is as if not more important than everything else. There are also those who judge others ability to catch fish by the label on the rod they use.
The Truth is often stumbled upon by men, most of whom pick themselves up and hurry along as if nothing ever happened. https://baitdigger.wordpress.com
so is it not better to try as many rods as possible , ? and not just listen to people who say that a certain rod is no good to fish with when clearly you can fish with any rod ?
have you considered a contender ,they have a what i call a Q CURVE the majority of top casters in the country have tried to master this wildly progresive rod but most have failed ,mostly due to the 38 cm butt being to beefy for them,and of course to get the rod moving properly most cant run fast enough or end up sliding on a cow pat on the runway,perfect rod for casting up to 16 oz plus a whole mac ,go on you know you want one
