I'm looking at upgrading my holiday fishing set up form a 5 foot, 2 piece glass rod to a 4 piece carbon jobbie like the 5th one down (Maxximus 8.5 foot) on this (sponsors) link......

Has anyone got/used one of these?Any feedback or other recommendations appreciated as I have to buy in the next few days.My holiday fishing is mainly with 5 lbs line, light cork float and bread for mullet btw.

 

Thanks in advance

Check out the Shimano Exage STC Spinning rods. Don't worry about the "Spinning" tag because they are to long and to soft to be a decent spinning rod. Thet actually have about the same action as an "Avon" style rod and are perfect for everything from float fishing for mullet to ledgering for barbel and at a push, they'll even throw a lure.

 

 

Edit: A rod with a 1 - 10g casting range is a very light rod. You may well struggle to control fish of a couple of pounds in a decent current.
