Shakespeare K2 Red Metal Twin Tip

#1 Post by yellowdoor »

Hi there - just wondering if anybody has been using this rod - how does it stack up as a fishing rod / bite detection as opposed to being a tool for out and out didtance. Devon angling centre have these rods on sale ranging from 175 - 225 sterling. Am thinking of purchasing one of theses rods or the Greys Triplex - any advice would be useful.

£175 to £225 are you sure??? that is pretty cheap as i have only seen them for £300 no matter which model. i have handled one at the angling show in the kings hall 15ft i think :roll: seemed a nice tool alright. as for the triplex i have cast one they are a very nice rod and you have the option of using either a multiplier or a fixed spool.
