The shakespere salt range are nice to cast as are the penn powersticks but everyone recomends the ian golds range, ive never cast one too afraid i'd like it . and the salt rods are still on special at glasgow angling for around 40 quid

Thinking of getting a new match type rod myself and am pretty much set on an Ian Golds International Match- from what ive read here they are the job.

Is there anything else out there worth considering possibly from the likes of Greys, Diawa, Shimano etc. before i make the purchase!!

In around the €200 mark prefferably... cant quite afford a Zzippy... yet
