I'm quite interested in this rod for general float fishing - trotting a stick, fishing a waggler, etc - for roach, chub, perch, etc. I can get one for £99 (RRP £175). It looks nice and light, which is a bonus when holding a rod all day, and should complement the centrepin Santa's bringing me in a few weeks.
Has anyone used one and have any comments/info that would be useful to know before I take the plunge?

An excellent piece of kit for the style of fishing you describe. Go for it.

It looks excellent for the price but I'm wondering if it's a little on the stiff side as it's so slim and light?
Do you reckon it'll handle a 10lb chub?

Tony That's OK then - just as long as it doesn't lock up with any REALLY big fish  Has no-one got any criticisms of this rod? Can it really be that light and crisp with no downsides? -------------------- And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
