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!

GAME ON I hope she does it, im making a hook less 2 hook clip down, with jelly worms to replicate bait, 75 grammes of lead and using low diameter line should give the rod every chance.
Ive decided the fairest thing is 5 lads to have a cast and take an average. Dennis has asked for a go so Staffo and me are in to any other volunteers. If your name is Andrew, Cracko or Marty you need not apply i like my rod as a two pice and dont fancy a 3 piece.

ill have ago at the next meet wont make this one
Shane, Ill keep the traces handy, next time out we can try them with 125, 150 1nd 175 Im off to bed, popular opinion seems to be the rod will win and Ill get a wedgie, well if it comes to that ill live with it but tonight ill be dreaming of my new hoodie in Black with SOD embroidered on it
The little rod is amazing, some hairy moments at first but that was into a strong wind but after we changed the court around she came alive and some decent distances were done, AG with no effort did 116 yards I did about 115, and Lee (scannerman) did 125 odd yards. All this was done on a two hook clipped with a 75 gram lead. So I admit I got it wrong Anyone looking for a good alround rod for bass, eastury work, spinning, float fishing, piking or even carp fishing this rod must be the best on the market and is very well priced.

Oh and before I forget.....
I TOLD YOU SO
I had a few chucks with the 50 g but couldnt get 1 in court id say my best was 120 meters, although a bit out of court Im glad we took this on gave a bit of craic and banter along the way.Ill leave you to gloat bragging rights are yours THIS TIME
Bragging rights aside, it really is some piece of kit for such a light weight looking rod, and the whole exercise was well worthwhile, you's would have had a bit of fun this afternoon no doubt
Are you walking like John Wayne now after the wedgie
I'd say the rod is grand for spinning for macks, or even using feathers from a beach with a 2 or 3 oz lead (you'd certainly have fun with 4 or 5 macks on ), but I dont think it would be suitable for hauling a full house up the rocks unless your using a drop net.
