Thinking of getting a new match type rod myself and am pretty much set on an Ian Golds International Match- from what ive read here they are the job.

Is there anything else out there worth considering possibly from the likes of Greys, Diawa, Shimano etc. before i make the purchase!!

In around the €200 mark prefferably... cant quite afford a Zzippy... yet :lol: :lol: :lol:
