century

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!

Norfolk & Goode has one - he'll be able to fill you in.

I have the Kompressor Sport - great for rough ground and conger fishing. I team it up with a Penn 525 Supermag (20lb line) or a SLOSH30 with 30lb line.

I am confident that it could tow that stricken ship near Dorset onto the beach :lol:

WR300 8)

Great rough ground rod. There's nothing around our coast that this rod could not deal with. It's an absolute beast of a rod, but IMO balanced and fairly light into the bargain. Wouldn't say it was a beach rod though, very much over gunned. Definately will not fold up in a big sea either.

I find you need to be throwing at least 6ozs and even up to 8ozs to really get it to bend.. Boy can she send a lead some distance, even for me! :shock:

Good luck with it.

Although it is great for rough ground as previous post said.
