Just bought one (fixed spool) so give me a couple of weeks and I will give you some info. Alas I am no expert. I had a go with a similiar rod before and liked it so took a chance. Bought it in Viking tackle who are the Irish agents as far as I know.

Cant remember exactly as I bought bait and bits and pieces. I think it was around 225-250 including the match tip. The rod comes with a standard tip rated to cast up to 8 oz (but i dont feel it will really do this properly). You can buy the match tip seperately. give them a call and they will give you a price. Hope this helps, I intend to do a review after one more use which should be next week. I am hoping to have some new braid by then.
