20' Float Rods

[PDS]

I'm thinking of getting an 18/20' float rod.

 

Have you used one?

What do you think of them?

Is it awkward landing fish on them?

i have a silstar 17ft rod its very light and thin but its severly over ringed and is a bugger to cast with i rarely use it prefering my 14ft fibreglass one

Why not try the Preston Carbon Active 15/17ft float rod, what a cracker, ideal for stick float fishing, after all that is what "long" rods are designed for

[darrell.cook]

My advise would be to take your time before buying one. I had a Drennan but found it hard work trotting with as they can "feel" very heavy after a period of time.

Thanks for the replys everyone, my main worry about such a long rod would be that I would'nt be able to fish most of my favourite swims because of overhanging trees and stuff. And netting fish on steep awkward banks too.

I have the Map 18/20 and the Carbonactive 15/17

both fantastic rods plus a shimano 15ft Powerloop .Would not be with out them all handle carp with the Carbonactive taking the edge.

The 18/20 I use on Tatton Mere with the big waggler fishing just over the ledge.

Never used any of the rods on a river.

Cost of stinko its £2-99 then the post just not worth the hassel will send another small sample.
