carp rod

[gareth1234]

I tonight bought a Normark Nirvana 3lb test carp rod, for no other reason than i didn't have one. the price was stunning, just over the £30 mark, now....are they any good?....lol

sorry,no idea gareth,but a handy rod too have for bass and mullet fishing as well

[gareth1234]

isn't it a bit heavy for bass and mullet fishing? i have a greys bze just for bass, a shimano beastmaster 9/11ft for mullet/course. i bought a 3lb test for big-ish carp/barbell.

for a light surf beach,probably,it's probably no stiffer than a light beachcaster.give it a try and see.i took 2 2.5tc rods to the llangennith gg meet,but thought conditions too rough to use them...hope that helps

cheers Al, i'll give it a thrash when it turns up and see what it can do.

well it turned up this morning, lovely bit of kit. ultra thin though...mmm?.... even the rod bag was quality, padded and fleece lined!!!!

just got to try it out now.
