Re: carbon-metel sre 16.5ft.
Presuming its the SRE 5M you are on about? Bit heavy and unwieldy but its the bizz for the long traces in close or a bit further. Excellent for belting a bait out too straight as a die with an overhead thump in a tight comp situation. Works well with either multi or FS and bite detection on it is good. Great for keeping your line out of the weed too. Definitely a slot in the bag for a rod like this. I would recommend. It wont tick all the boxes but as I say, it deffo has its place.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial
