penn powerstix pro

#1 Post by pookie5488 »

I am looking a 15ft rod for the odd time i beach fish and in the day time so dont want to pay to much.

All my other rods are grauvell I use 13ft in everything else they do me grand for night fishing but want something to help me get out there when in day light. ( casting pants so need help)

Was going just to get another grauvell the x cast or due v in 15ft but been told the new powerstix pro very good so looking a few more views on this.

Go on suggest a good rod

Alright pookie.. I used to have the old powerstix 13ft. They are a great rod and worth every penny.
I have a Century SRE.. I dont use it to get extra distance but to use long traces for mostly in close...
Have you thought about getting some 15lb braid? You will be suprised how much it adds to tour cast!
If you want a lash with the SRE give me a shout!
