is this the 4 or 5 peice rod?
if so i,ve just given mine away. they are light but floppy. they will get you fishing for little money though an handy in a suitcase.

I think I'll give it a try. I normally go spinning for bass with 1oz weights. do i take the 9' 10-40g or 15-60g casting weight?

while the 9ft says up to 40 gram you will find it soft and i snapped one casting a popper.
i.d go for the heavier model as it will feel stiffer and more up to work in the sea.

i ordered the heavier model. I will give my opinion later on...

received it today from devon angling centre today. took them long enough to deliver (2 weeks after payment) but I was not in a hurry. It look neat but I am affraid of its action in rough conditions. anyway, can know before I used it. I'll test it and put a review up in the tackle review section.

received a new tip and took it out for a few spins now. VERY pleased with it! only minus is the short strap on the tube. for it's price a very good rod!
