Maxximus

[Skingz]

Hi just wondered if anyone has bought anything from an EBay seller Davey's fishing tackle ? He is based in the North East. He has a Maxximus listed for sale. The only worry I have is what Lb range to go for. The one for sale is 50lb ... Is this too heavy ?? Cheers as always

I've bought a few items from him, in Blythe if I remember correctly, had no probs.

Ive had loads of things and never any problems.As for the rod in my opinion 50lb rod is very heavy unless you intend going for big conger down south.I always found a 20-30lb rod more than enough.

The solid carbon rods are very light, think mines rated 20-50lb and it feels like a normal 15lb rod.

Aye your right Keith, although the rating seems high at 12-50 lb the Fladen Maximus carbon rods are so very thin, and having the higher rating gives you a bit more confidence when hammering the wrecks and hard ground.

20 - 60 1 piece solid carbon still have a very sensitive tip and are ideal for heavy wrecking,a couple on ebay for £60 a good price me thinks.

I have a 20-60 lb maxximus and they are light and bend well into a good fish.

Thanks for the advice ..... After all suggestions I'm going for the maxximus the only down side seems to be corrosion to the eyes... Anyway of reducing this ? Also gonna get a tld when I can maybe off Santa ... Any half decent cheaper reels ???? Thanks again

Keep an eye on eBay Glen, if you hit lucky TLDs go for as little as£50.

How did you get on last weekend?

The more expensive,and later Maxximus solid carbons,have fujis
fitted,and are cracking rods.Blanks are the same,just the earlier
rings are pi55 poor.
