How are yee findn these rods lad.

Thinking of buying one, but wondering how much abuse they can take having spliced tip. Hoping to use it the odd time for ray huss and a possible tope on same venues..

philD. I just got one today after months of saving.. Brought her out in challenging condition today lots of kelpnrods on beach. Seriously rod nice sensitive tip and loads of back bone at the same time.. Cast 6oz with ease. Great investment.
