are you sure its not the penn affinity you mean. was thinking about a contenental type of rod myself. they are good for extra distance when casting but not sure if u need them for match fishing, most of our species are in close nearly always at nite still good to have one in surf conditions id say. :?

Yes it's a Powerstix. I just bought one. Have a 16ft Diawa and it's great to get the distance. I reckon this will be even better if I can manage it.

I use the 16ft Diawa and think its a great rod. I would be interested to hear your opinion on the 18fter. I bet its hard work landing half decent fish with it. :)
