'EXCELLENT VALUE ROD'

Strengths:
Good fast action tip, with power in reserve.Light and easy to hold for long periods of time.

[Update 26/10/07] Just had a few sessions on the Severn, it handled Barbel to 8lb without to much trouble. what a great rod.

Oct 2007 - I've now had a good few Ribble Barbel, again excellent performance!

Weaknesses:
None yet! I've had Chub to 5lb on my local river with no problem. But I've yet to get a Barbel, and just wonder if it can handle a 5lb-8lb fish. Time will hopefully tell!

Overall:
At £35 YOU CAN'T GO WRONG! I'm using it with the stick and pin, very good for casting and control. I await the ultimate test!

[Update 26/10/07] Past the test on all counts!

'BRILLIANT'

Overall:
Budget price platinum performance. Why spend hundreds for no superior performance? Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, what's the gamble at that price?

'LIGHT WEIGHT, THROUGH ACTION.'

Strengths:
Beautiful action, with fast tio for quick take up of line, perfect for waggler fishing for carp on a commercial water.

Weaknesses:
None !

Overall:
Superb value rod for general float work. i have caught double figure carp on this rod on 4lb main line with 3lb hook link & size 14 hook and it haddled them well, soft tip but with plenty off beef and power in the butt.

versitile, powerful, great.

'BEST FLOAT ROD FOR THE MONEY'

Strengths:
Good fast tip, light enough action for small hooklenghts and silver fish and yet loads of backbone for the surprise lumps.

Weaknesses:
None at this price

Overall:
Have used this rod a few times now - light enough to hold for long periods and action as described above. Got mine for £34-99 from www.wmac.co.uk and at that price the build quality, finish and performance just can't be questioned.
