Hi,sugarlumps and guts,
I only used the rampage once since i got it and the night i used it the wind was blown hard but the bite indication was very good,i really didnt get a chance to get a proper cast as the area that i was fishing in was fairly rocky but it didnt take much effort to cast near a 100 yards with it,im hoping to head out to a beach over the weekend and see how it really performs,if i do ill make some sort of comment weather good or bad but ill say it,ll be all good.

How ya guts,i changed over to braid only last week and what a difference it makes,its alt more sturdy than the mono that i was using,i would recommend the rampage as im very happy with the proformance on the last to seessions iv had with it.
