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

[grandeslamtackle]

for rod and reel and line and waggler rig £30.00

[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

[themegajosh09]

but first off its not even on the site.

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

[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

if you get one lennoxlude try and fish some of the comps that grandeslam are haveing for this product next year ,i am so might see you there!!!!

[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.

[barnend1]

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]

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.

[barnend1]

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

[smbham83]

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!!
