Guys - Julian is working with a bunch of new "modern lure rods" - if you see the prototypes that are going around, just forget all about the weights that are printed on them as they are meaningless and I believe are just there to get an idea of graphics. 0-90g is complete drivel.
His new "modern lure rods" that I have seen and played with are just stunning - ok, so Julian's a mate, but he knows I would be (and have been) completely honest with him about what he is trying to do. A few weeks ago I played around with these new rods and I was hugely impressed. Can't wait to see them on the market, not sure when they come out, but I reckon he will do well with them. They look good, they look very well put together, and the actions were fantastic.
In France with the guys, heading down from St. Malo to the first day of the show this morning, should be a blast.
