Hi Danny,

How much including p & p to Holland?

Is it suitable for wrecking?

Alan,

 

I have only been wrecking once so I have no idea, I would think the fact that it is rated to cast weights to 140 grm means that to chuck the sort of weight you want to use it for would be seriously optimistic.

 

all the best

Thanks for your honesty Danny, I am so desperate for a rod and reel and always strapped for cash.

During my time at Caliber, I designed this rod for jerkbait fishing for pike with advice from Derek Gibson. It has what has been described as a dual action, as although stiff enough to work a jerkbait it will (unusually)bend through when playing a fish.

 

It wasn't designed to be overloaded when casting, although a number of anglers have used it for pollack etc.

 

Not doing any wreck fishing I can't comment further, but I hope this is of some small help.
