got all of the above beat its a 3peice rod i got last weeked and it came with 3 tips a soft one a bit like a kompresser GP / A medium tip stiffer than the RON T/ THEN there is the heavy tip this is how do i bend this
THE ROD IS A BLUE MARLIN T53
best fish on it so far a 165lb bronzie it cast 8oz leads and 8oz OF BAIT
with ease it makes brit rock rods look like bass rods this is no bull S.

Well impressed Dave lol. I think when jordy posted on here he was asking about fishing as we know it in the UK. How would that rod of yours stand up to fishing on the N.E. coast mate. Personally I have not heard of it. If anyone else has please speak up but I doubt it.
I have a feeling that if you get a Whiting on there you might not know that it is there, in fact if you caught a Cod you would never know lol. Call me sceptic but I won\'t take offence lmfao.

Jim you could probably use those fish as bait and cast back out lol

[blastman]

hi,surely these one piece rods are a bit of a pain transportation , three piece dont like the sound of them , greys producing long three piece rods along with shakespear cant see them lasting , two piece ideal in my opion, how long have you had your purglass rod now pete been some time i think had a look on ebay a few times seen a few these other ones seem interesting two can see advantages for heavier leads for fishing , are you from england dave or an americano john

[BIGDAVE]

I live in leeds uk on the soft tip you feel a bream like fish bite
as for 3 piece rods the south afrcan rods lead the way they have no flat spots loads of power and a tip that dont fold up with a good fish
best fish so far on my 3 peice is a 165lb bronzie but that will be bettered
in 2006 namibia II.

Go for it Dave hope you get a monster. Looking forward to some pictures mate.
