i have the above rod and as it says on the web about this rod "probilly the best light shore rod ever" i fully agree with it. i've had thornies, bass and doggies on it and it is a dream to cast and hold in the surf for the flats and bass. so in my words its one hell of a rod

yeah i tried it a couple of times over grass with a 4oz lead not too sure of the distance but it went really well with an OTG cast.
