Get the 4500s version.
Tremendous Rod. Tonnes of power with a sensitive tip . will easily put three baits out over the 150 meter mark . Have been using this for three years now and have not used another that can even come close to it . It is mainly an alrounder up to mixed ground fishing. Its not a rock rod but will cope if need be.

I cannot recommend this rod highly enough.

Well she arrived yesterday very well packaged too I might add. Took me 20 miutes to get it open ( drain pipe).

Anyway took it down the field last night for a few casts and was seriously impressed. Nice and light but plenty of Power, and best of all it's got red under whippping and looks the Biz.


I love it!!!

thats for nothing :shock: i was bidding on a conoflex and the postage was quoted as £15 in england but to NI the cheapest the guy could get it for was £30 with a courier. so i had to retract my bid, but luckily the guy was understanding about it.
