Well lads, was in swords angling centre today and had a feel of the Poetica. Lovely rod, I have a couple of rods and the one closest to it would be a daiwa grand wave. The grand wave casts best with 5-6 ounces and isn't great for lighter leads or flicking maddies. The rod isn't finished nearly aswel and is a lot heavier than the trabucco. Can anyone let me know what the Poetica is like casting wise?

Re: Poetica
Poetica is a fantastic rod excellent finish and can flick maddies all day as well as send a trace to the horizon with light line, they are thin on the ground now but well worth the money in my opinion

Re: Poetica
Cheers Keith, very impressed with it. The tip is nearly like a 3-5oz tip on other rods but it feels perfect in the hand. There was an AFAW rod beside it and the Poetica is just a fair more appealing piece of kit. Couldn't tell you that Ste or me hard work will be undone [WINKING FACE].Thanks John, I'll be buying one before I cast one, hate casting a rod that's not mine, if I had a bigger bank balance I probably wouldn't.
