    New Rod

    My Fladen as much as I love it is like soooo last season I simply must replace it

    Got my eye on the Ugly Stik Braid 18-25lb rod and looked at one in the shop today and am now scheming how to sneak it under the radar of the FPO

    Ugly Stik Braid 18-25lb

    (not buying through there BTW)

    Few options:
    1. sell existing boat rod (I only have one unlike other members who shall remain nameless ) to raise collateral to facilitate purchase and "justify" buying the new rod
    2. buy new rod anyway to make sure I like it first before flogging the old faithful to claw back expense incurred
    3. buy new rod as above and then conveniently forget to sell old faithful (always need a spare don't we )


    Prob go with 2 but lean towards 3 as a strong possibility if the FPO doesn't notice

    I don't need it, I just want it...two very different words that can be made to mean the same
    Ooh a new vid!

    They are a nice rod Tony i looked at them in the shops and think it would be a nice action, only thing that put me off was the joint...i only go for rods with the screw fit joint, if it had that i would of been tempted myself.

    Go ahead and get it you only live once and next season there maybe no fish left to catch!!!

            GOT THE SAME DILEMMA, TO BUY or NOT TO BUY?
            EXCEPT I DON'T HAVE TO SNEAK ANYTHING I BUY IN UNDER THE RADAR.IN FACT SHE'S OFTEN SAYING "WHAT DO WANT, I'LL BUY THAT" BUT THESE DAYS I TEND TO REFUSE HER OFFERS, AS I NEVER HEAR THE LAST OF IT "I BOUGHT YOU THAT, I BOUGHT YOU THIS"
            SO SHOULD I GET A NEW ROD I FANCY A LIGHTER RATED ONE THAN THE TWO I'VE GOT 20-25lb & 25lb-40lb PENN TUNA STANDUP'S.MAY WAIT TILL ONE BREAKS/SNAPS A TRIP OUT WITH RICHY ONE DID MAKE AN AWFUL SCARY CRACKING NOISE.
            HAVE BEEN LOOKING, SEEN ON AT HARDYS/GREYS IN ALNWICK, 6-12LB LONGBOAT FOR £40 BUT DIDN'T BUY IT, AT THAT PRICE I WISH I HAD.

                  Bugger it I'm buying it...posting the thread was a mere psychological mechanism thingy...and I won't hide the fact either, I shall just say:

                  "I have spent £80 on a new fishing rod which YES I DID NEED....please don't look at me like that....."

                    you could wrap it up nicely and tell her you bought it for her BUT I don't think you would suit that particular rod wrapped around you neck.

                        Nice one Tony AND Norman ,I already have an ugly stick and I rate it highly I also have a Fladen Maxximus as you know but it hasn't seen much action so together with my new Penn reel I hope to catch one or two little fighters early season and give it a good old bashing.
