Yeah i have the outasite rod with the 525 supermag, i got the combo deal from gerrys and i've never had any problems with it (yet..). Its value for money and nearly always gets a good review, theres a nice feel to it also although I'm no master angler,
For what its worth,
Dave

is it a stiff enough action on it. I had a feel of one there and it seems like its a solid rod.

I've got the Outasite and think it's great rod for the money good bite detection, very comfortable to use and has a good casting range.I've cast a plain lead over 160yrds with this rod and it still has a lot more distance to offer (the only thing holding it back is me :oops:)

If you can get yourself to one of the Ulster Casting Club meets you are more than welcome to have a go with mine before you commit.

i recently bought this rod along with the 525 hvae to say its an excellent rod., very light and easy to hit average distances but it will fire a 5oz lead a long way. id recommend one to anyone

Have the outtasite here too with the supermag 525.
Its taken a while to get used to but its gets better and better. As Jonny says, the only thing holding it back is me.
I wouldnt call it very light especially if ya like to hold the rod but its manageable. On the stiff side also.
Seems to favour 6oz leads casting wise with me.
