Hey Jay, how`s the 6kg live fibre rod?would you go lighter for casting?am thinking of putting a curado on one.

hey maxan - i actually got talked out of buying a live fibre - apparantly they snap easy when you high-stick them.. a mate has lost two exactly that way..

Hi.

Daiwa Black Sheep 250 Shimano T Curve
Daiwa SW 203 Shimano T.Curve 3 to 5
Tica Black 150. Live Fibre Classic 6 kg.
Old Calcutta 150 on Fenwick HMG 10/17lb .

Black Sheep/Sw 50 lb Braid.YGK. (SW my favourite).

Tica/Calcutta 30 lb Braid Tuff Line. 80 to 120 Fluro Leaders. Depending on areas.

I find the live Fibre a good stick, but a bit short for casting. Shimano Sticks quite nice to use, Regardless of label. Which ain't my favourite.

Avet MXL Great for trolling on dams. The lower speed model...

Hi. How do you find Daiwa 3 pce.I have Shakespeare 5 pce, but would like another one.
I prefer the round reels to those flat ones. Hence the SW.. Beautiful reel.
Only ever been spooled at sea with the Mack's.

Have a good New Year. Flying back home today.

Havnt had a chance to try it on a fish yet. Loads up nicely in the shop though. Going to knock up a travel tube for it and do some decent walking trips with it I hope.

You Shakespere the Agility model? Had a look at them in the 3 piece but lacked a little backbone for what I was after. New Barra Raider 3 piece were the same.

Well the new rattler spin rod is at home (but I am not)..plus there are 2 bass pro rods and a GL2 and 2 fly rods sitting there to unpack...and to top it off I found some nice 2 piece rods here to take home

no wonder I am looking at a boot sale soon.....(before testical removal happens)

Is anyone selling a "huge" rod rack by the way???
