Nice price.

Fagan have ya looked at the Ian Gold rods at all. Excellent rods and very affordable.

The whole range reviewed here: http://www.planetseafishing.com/reviews ... each-rods/

I use the International match and love it.

Get onto Paul Mason on this site as he has them in stock as far as Im aware.

@ fagan - i recently bought a penn powerstix 15ft9 and a big baitrunner, using braid too.

the joy i'm getting from this set up is unreal.

get that rod and a decent f/s and he'll have a great time on any size of fish.

i believe you and i fish some of the same areas so you'll not go far wrong.

Im just lookin at your post again mate and copped on its a 3 piece youre looking for at around a oner. The IM is a 2 piece at around 2 ton. My bad Well worth lookin into though if ya wanna break the budget but by the sounds of it the powerstix is right up your alley.

i've no experience with that rod but all other salt rods have been great for the price bracket they are in. i've the bass rod and love it (even hauled in thornies with this), my mate has the flattie rod and loves it too. i've also read some great reviews on the surf rod too.
