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!

No, You Can't Delete your own posts on this thing anymore.... :evil:

What I said in the previous Post was I've had a Chuck with the Ladle and its a Gorgeous Rod. I also posted a link to a report about the Rod, But then I remembered advertising other sites is banned on this site, for some reason. :?

I think the Ladle is Built on a Daiwa Blank if I've got my facts right.

The seaspin from GREYS is a cracking rod I've got one myself. My only concern is, it is very strong. By that I mean it might struggle to cast the normal everyday spinner/lure which is fairly light. To me it is more like a bass rod. As far as I know it can cast up to nearly 3ozs.

The Greys rod that I have is 3 piece and the blank is a deep green colour. It can cast up to 90grams. Close on 3 ozs.
