At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

the old saying lads if you cant bend it you cant cast it comes to mind here.not being smart but it holds a lot of truth just ask some of the top casters,and it makes a lot of sence to me.everyone seems to go for the ultra stiff rods these days when a rod you can get a good bend into without pulling your spine out will do the job.steve i would go for the m4 evo which is a nice fishing rod which is very capable on the court aswell.

i agree if you cant bend it you cant send it, they have a high flex version of the m427, but its still a rock rod

I had 1 cast of this rod on saturday with a massive hangover and my hangover went after 1 cast :shock: so did the lead and leader too though :lol: , and i had to walk up to Dennis with his reel looking like a bowl of noodles :roll: Seriously powerful piece of kit.
