I am back using a Moonraker Fasttip I bought about 20 years ago. Anyone remember Dolphins Barn Angling? Great for heavy beachwork but sensitive at the tip. Probably could get more out of it for casting but thats probably my crap technique. I use mine with an old ABU7000....does the biz for me.

I've one knocking about the garage, don't use it much anymore as it snapped at one stage :cry: and whilst I got a repair job done its not quite the same. I didn't know they still produced them.
