Where are you going? it looks a bit too light for all applications other than ultralight spinning.
I wouldnt want to tackle Ebro carp on it for example. [ 31. March 2005, 02:25 PM: Message edited by: Tony U ] -------------------- After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

It could be too short, I had problems hitting the mini sea species with a 9 foot telescopic, I now use the Fladden six piece 13 foot match rod for this sort of stuff, Elton does them.
Shakespeare do a similar multi piece match rod for a price not much more than the Shimano, £32 from Nimpopo, it's a bit bigger at 84 cms but still gets into a suitcase. Remember you can not take rods on board planes as cabin luggage anymore. [ 31.

when I went last time, the greek lads were bagging up, god knows what they were, but they were catching them on little home made jobs, about 5' long.... I think it'll do the job, reckon I'll be able to cast from the bar
thanks for the info on the cabin luggage, didn't know that..... -------------------- "I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy."

Just the same to Keep Elton Happy here is the link for his travel match rod:
www.tacklebargains.co.uk/acatalog/Multipiece_Travel_Rods.html He is even throwing in a free reel sounds great for the Hols. (Elton you owe me) Tony -------------------- After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

had a look at those Tony - thanks, but they cost too much, I can get the exage for just over £30, should be able to get away with that
