The last 3 months I have been using my fathers Silstar Match 360 rod. Kevlar DIA Flex. Probably 10 years old.

 

He now needs to use it himself and I cant find one anywhere.

This rod was great for silverfish. 12ft in length, super light, fast action really good sport with roach & perch above 1/2 pound.

 

Can anyone recommend a similar lightweight silverfish match rod? Max fish will be around 2lbs. Any info would be great.

06 Jaguar S Type 2.7 Twin Turbo V6D.

 

2012 Fish: Roach, Dace, Gudgeon, Perch, Eel, Bream/Roach Hybrid. Bream, Silver Bream, Carp, Pike.

 

Jas Uses: Drennan Rods, TFG Rods, Shimano Reels, Okuma Reels, 4lb & 3lb Maxima chameleon line, Drennan Double Strength 6lb line, Drennan Hooks to nylon 2lb to size 20 barbless & 1lb 10oz to size 22 barbless., Mustad hooks to nylon 3lb to size 16 barbless * 2lb 10oz to size 18 barbless, Drennan floats, Premier Floats, Middy Floats, Uni Floats, Camo Shot, Anchor Shot, Drennan & Middy Open Ended & Closed ended feeders, Unbranded ledger weights, Shakespeare seat boxes, Fox Tents and Luggage.

For that kind of work on the river I use the shakespeare mach 1 match rod. It is 13ft but you may be able to get a 12ft model. It is very good value for money IMO. I have the 5 piece travel version but i am almost certain there is a 3 or 2 piece version.

 

EDIT: Found one, New model here

Keep watching Ebay, they do come up from time to time and don't go for big money.
