Match rods
Hows it goin lads on the look out at the min for a 14ft match rod that will throw a decent weight of lead with 3 baits, with gud bite detection but still with the grunt to pull three dogs or handle weed for that matter. So any suggestions welcome cheers

Apart from Tony i know 2 other lads who use the affinity and love it to bits, great rod , if a crab farted in wales the match tip would registar it. If i was buying a fixed spool rod again id buy this instead of a dh

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
