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!

A cracking rod! I had one for a while before kstaff bought it off me.
Slim and very powerfull but with a great match tip. The only thing i didnt like about it was the overall weight, there a tad heavy side for my liking, 11 rings seemed abit over-kill IMO they could have dropped 2....
I think Henry might still has one in stock http://www.henrystackleshop.com/

The Worlds Greatest Fishing Rod!!!

Light slim and Powerful, the best tip I've ever seen/used on any rod, will give feedback from 10 to 100 yards and its very capeable for almost any fishing situation. Well built, nicely finished and a joy to use.

There are alot of lads using them who are all of the same opinion as me, so I'm not alone!

I would highly recommend one and you will not be disappointed with it!

Serpant you can have a chuck with mine anytime.

Cheers.

I have a pair of AFAW's, they are a pleasure to fish with. IMHO if you put a zziplex sticker on them a lot more people would rave about them as the ultimate rod.
