Am looking to buy a multi piece travel rod for my jollies in the summer...
My options are:

Both 6 piece, 11'6", 4-8oz...
Anyone heard anything about them? or have strong opinions about travel rods in general?
Ooh a new vid!

Tony i doubt very much any travel rod will cast 8oz maybe 4 or 5 at a push so i would'nt expect to fish any heavy ground with one.My mate bought one recently,it looks ok as well and I'm 95% sure its

I'll ask him on Tuesday to confirm it,he used it recently over in Cumbria and said it was excellent but not for the heavy ground.
Cheers for that Alan...must admit I took the 8oz weight capability with a big pinch...looking to fish beaches or maybe a bit of mixed ground when I'm in South Wales again this summer...just wanted something with a bit of poke in case I hook into a larger specimen than the 2lb doggie that was my PB last summer
