All right stevie i have heard a few people comment on the mark 2 apollo saying stuff like its nothing special and it does ant set there reel on fire and so on mabe these comments come from people that prefair bright yellow rods with snazzy graphics

I personally think the rod is dead on its always in my rod bag mines the 14ftr
as i use the reel low down and use it as an all-rounder clean beach to rock kelp the life time guarantee is hard to beat but i have been told there is going to be a mark 3 which is going to be a lot slimmer i reckon it will be due out for the coming winter season.

i have seen loads of people around the antrim and down coast using them. they look good to me and seem to be very popular.
