Aye thats a good cast jimbob, i fancy a new rod maybe a carbon metal crest or a Century kompressor SS. Heard great reports about both, they are great all rounders and the new kompressor are ment to be more suited than previous models due to the slimmer diameter butts etc. I had a go of a century kompressor SS and they cast like a dream and are suprisingly light, will handle most fishing situations. Also like zziplex rods so i am torn between a new century or a zziplex for my next rod. Don't need one but fancy a change.
