Having read up about these and seen one in the tackle shop, I decided that I must have one to get a beach rod with a bit more power without breaking the bank. If you hunt around as I did, it should be possible to get one for just over the ton - I paid £116. It's all black with a white tip and comes in three sections so easy to transport - another feature which I wanted. I was surprised to find that it is quite light and slim - almost like a bigger bass rod but don't let that fool you it takes a bit of practice and effort to get a decent bend in it so definitely not a girl's rod. For those that want to, I am sure that it will be quite happy to accept a pendulum cast. I don't know if they do a multiplyer version but I am a fixed spool man so it didn't matter to me. No, it doesn't have Fuji guides but the SiC rings look good enough - time well tell. Bite detection is actually quite good for a powerful rod - schoolies made it twitch OK first time out but it will take a bigger fish to really make it bend I fancy. Happy to answer any questions folks, if you are interested.
