(It will be used on a small river and maybe the odd still water)

Ed, is there anywhere you can try the rod before you buy it.

Also depends on how seriously you are going to be at fluff chucking.

I would expect the line to come off the reel in great coils like a spring and the rod to feel like a telegraph pole,lol.

If this is only going to be now and again then only you can tell if it is what you want,

I bought a cheap outfit (150£) to start but as soon as I felt a better quality rod and line well it now gathers dust in a mates spare room.

All the best.

I wen't down to my local tackle shop instead and the owner (friend of mine) set me up with all the kit i need. I have been practicing with the rod and it is very light and a joy to use. The only thing im unhappy about is the colour of the line!

Cheers for the advice.
