like a broomshank stiffened m8.a nice skull dragging rod but you can get the best ever dragger at the nemisis plus slr for 12o quid less.

[crack-off!]

Very stiff rods as already mentioned but if its just for rock end fishing then its a good choice.I cant imagine many people being able to bend it and put a bait long distances but for lobbing into the weed its a good choice.

[kingfisher]

tried it out last night big baits heavy leads new pb 10-7 and 3 others stiff but good for bullying fish through the kelp

A pal of mine just ordered one but is having second thoughts.( He is sick of blanking and cheesed of with fishing!!!)
The rods are very difficult to get a hold of so if anyone is interested in taking it off his hands send me a pm and i will pass it on.
Im not sure if he has it back from the rod builders yet but im sure he will part with it if he can get his money back or thereabouts.

apart from the lenghth,are they any different to the 13\'3 WR300?

[kingfisher]

they are not a casting rod but that extra 2 foot seems to make it feel nicer to cast with

[CHUKKA]

Im told the 15ft rods are proper tournament rods. Much more power than the standard rod.

[jordy]

what sort of price do these retail at?

[gogs]

Andy is it Mickey who is selling his rod as i have a m8 who might be interested in it if the price is right

Inmho they have only added a foot to the butt, this will not alter the action of the rod, it will still cast like a 13;2 standard wr, the reel still works best mounted in the same position its just you have a foot more to play with when you cast down the butt, I tryed one a couple of years ago and they are not that stiff, it seemed quite a tippy rod fare enough the butt was like a scaffy bar, quite a nice rod for ground casting but not a out and out tournament rod or an out and out rock rod
