Hello mate

In my opinion the are an absolute bargain at the price.

I have a few mates with them and they have never had any issues with them . Well made with good quality components.

The rod is a pretty fast action and fairly stiff which is really good for working topwater lures. There is plenty of power to handle larger fish when you need it, but they are not the most sensitive, making working soft lures on anything under about 7-10g a little tricky.

If it’s for Bass/ Wrasse / Pollock / Mackerel then they are just about perfect. It will comfortably throw lures all the way through the casting range, with most common plugs being 10-20g.

Pretty much sums it up what Broony has said.

I've had the 8ft, 10-40g one for a couple years now and can't fault it. Think I paid about £45 for it as it was on a deal, wish I'd got 2 of them.

Yep ! Stunning rod , real value for money. There were some of the tournament versions on eBay (full Eva handle)

[Jimk2]

Ring them before you go to confirm mate as they are doing a lot of online sales.
