Des Taylor catches trout on a grandeslam pocket rocket pro pen rod

[lennoxlude]

i wouldn't use this rod for anything other than just fun fishing. what i mean about that is i wouldn't go targetting any fish that can go to any large size such as carp, pike, chub,trout, nothing like that, but i wouldnt mind having one of these taking the kids out fishing with maggots catching roach, dace, fish like that close in. easy to assemble, not of any weight, easy to carry, and seems fun.

your right mate its loads of fun for every type of fishing,but beleive me it will catch big fish!!!!!!! and although great for kids ,you will see loads of anglers with these in the car or tackle bag,its obviouley not a match combo but when you want a bit of fun try catching a decent size carp on it(world record 181b carp!!!!!!!!!!its awsome but thanks for comment,happy new year

[lennoxlude]

maybe a lake that holds smaller carp i would use it, but if the lake holds specimen size carp, pike, and then the river holds specimen barbel, then theres other rods which are built for those specific fish that would do the job much better, not just for us anglers, but also for the fish.. theres a difference in having fun, and then being stupid. smaller size fish, smaller carp, perch,roach, dace, then this rod is perfect, and i'll happily use it and have some great fun with it. thankyou.

he says use a spinner or plug where fisheries allow it?Do shatterford allow you to spin on their trout pools?I didnt think they do!!

[barnend1]

possibley if your famous and your names des taylor L.O.L

[barnend1]

you obviously have not use one yet or you would completely change you mind,not only do they perform as good but there great fun to use, great for holidays and just keep in your glove compartment,but the fun really starts when you catch some decent sized fish the feeling is incredible!!!!!within the next 12 months these will be massive in the uk and the massive pocket rocket competition will hopefully break the word record of a massive 18ib carp!!!!!!!its the most fun yuol have with pants on

whats the defernce between this and the penrod extreme?

[grandeslamtackle]

this is nothing like the pen exteame it is a unique rod and reel combo that has been manufatured to suit the uk market

[themegajosh09]

but first off its not even on the site.

second how could there be a difference to suit the "uk market"

[barnend1]

@themegajosh09 the videos are on the website under videos as ive checked today and apparantley will be for sale in the shops earley 2010

[grandeslamtackle]

due in stock from the 20th of jan 2010 and it's the reels that have been changed to match the more common rear drag ones found in the uk as we found that the manufacturers tended to supply the rods with US style bait casters and spinning reels that seemed not to cast as smoothly and caused a lot of bird nesting during trials when we developed the rod blanks

[birkenheadtillidie]

how much are they likely to cost? for the rod and reel.

[grandeslamtackle]

for rod and reel and line and waggler rig £30.00

[barnend1]

because its 20 per cent stronger,and can be usud for ledgering because it has a slightly softer tip

[MortenFS95]

is that the pen rod extreme?

or is it the 98cm long one?

[grandeslamtackle]

no its not the pen extreame and it is 5ft

[barnend1]
