My young lad had one when he was a junior it done him for a while till the rings fell off. Okay for farting around better off getting something that's going to last buying cheap is false economy.

i had one of these, crackin rods, doubt you'd get something better for anywhere near the same money.

why not try to get something 2nd hand? better quality of rod for the price of a cheap one

I have an enticer rod now its 10 years old so dont know what it compares to the present model but i think its a beauty. I have zziplex greys etc rods but still take this out when its small surf calm i love the blank. i think the eyes arent great but am considering getting it remade im so fond of it.
