Hi
I'm looking to purchase a bolognese rod for fishing the trent derwent and don and am looking for advice from those in the know as to which one to plump for. Looking at the fishermans friend advert in this weeks angling times i've found the following very attractive deals. Abu ambassador elite match power 18ft - £109 rrp £189 Browning Syntec 18/20ft - £109 rrp £179 Maver abyss match 20ft - £119 rrp £170 Mitchell supreme 6m bolo - £79 rrp £209 Map concept match 18/20ft - £99 rrp £170 Normark crusader 15/20ft - £137 rrp £275 Diawa harrier 20ft - £99 rrp £199 On paper it looks like the Normark is a lot of rod for the money, however I've got the John Wlson Avon quiver and with the 2ft extension it becomes very noticibly tip heavy and unbalanced. Views from the owners of any of the above rods much appreciated. Cheers Steve |

'Scuse my ignorance, but what's a bolognese rod? Is it a rod over a certain length?

Your right to be cautious, a long rod can be difficult to use!
Some years ago I convinced myself I needed a long rod for river trotting. My local tackle shop sold me a Drennan 16' job, lovely rod but trying holding it all day mending the line etc. Not much fun, so I didn't persevere too long! As to RRP, within fishing this means diddlysquat! You only have to look through the adverts in the mags to see everything is discounted by everyone! ( Possible exception might be Drennan rods ?) The only way to be sure is to get your hands on one and put it through it's paces. Hope this helps |

Hello
I have a map concept 18/20 and am very happy with it, its better at 18feet but still usable at 20 . I have had carp to 10lbs on it and it handled them easily. Its also crisp enough at 18 feet to take roach on the stick. Has a lot of power in the mid region of the blank. good luck ADAM -------------------- |

What about a Tri cast John Allerton 18 footer. Top quality rods, expensive but sheer quality.
