The other is the Ian golds match rod casts from a 2oz to 4oz will handle 4oz easy. If surf is up and distance might be needed it is the rod for the job it is the rod I use for most fishing and it is the one that has got the Bass on so well able to handle a fight. The top is sensitive to bites such as small rocking coalie but will handle a bit of hard work too. A bite heavy to hold all day but you get use to it. I'll have both with me on Sunday if ya want a look at them.

Hope this helps.

There are two kinds, the Salt Extreme and the Agility. From what I have read on-line the Salt Extreme is the older model which happens to be better quality and I have found it for sale online. Does anyone have an experience with these rods?
Or could anyone offer some other suggestions of a rod suitable for casting up to 3oz with decent bite detection? I'm not looking to spend a fortune and the budget is up to around 70 euro.
Thanks in advance
