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!
Profile arrived on monday.Finally got to give it a cast today.
WOW.
Very thin and light and extremely easy to cast.Casted 3,4,5oz sinkers with extreme ease.
This rod is deceptivly powerful yet looks very responsive and should make a great match rod.
Once again WOW.
I'm sure the wife and kids are getting annoyed at this stage as all I have kept saying for the last 1/2 hour is WOW
I believe it's the same diameter blank as the powertex bass? about 25mm Only trouble I have found with the bass rod is, if your hands are wet/damp while casting your hand can slip!
Maybe it's only me but it's happened on a few occasions while swinging a lead. Kind of embarrassing when your lead is lying at your feet with the rod heading down the beach like an javalin. :oops: :shock:
Bigcol, I've had mine 10 months now and still WOW.
I've never had a problem of losing control of the rod when casting. I've large hands as well. I find I can get my thumb way over the spool so i actually get extra grip when casting.
The Profile butt diameter is 21.5mm with shrink tube 22mm...I actually got a size 22mm Fuji reel seat on mine....I've still not cast mine yet...cant wait though.
Probably be there as long as the PTX Bass....over 25 years....long time in rod world :lol: :lol:
if the wife tells you to get rid of it like the last one(which i must say is a beautiful rod) you know where i am :lol: :lol:

Glad to see you are enjoying the 3500s Steve.The profile is definatly another notch up.Her indoors says it reminds her of when we first met.I keep talking about it and stroking it gently.(the rod that is :D )
I got the rod on Ebay Mr Green.It had been built at Tonys Tackle as a christmas present.It was advertised new as unwanted and it is pristine.
Tiz the famous Inch.I only blanked Sean because I was practise casting so much.Got up to 167 yards with a 120 gram lead withuot much effort.
This really is a superb rod.
It would be ideal for short range flattie bashing. i am still amazed that a rod with such a sensitive tip can cast so far.An extremely versatile match rod.
