This arrived yesterday

Soft plastics rod coming in at 7ft and weighing just 125g.
Tried it last night for a pollack with a weightless SP and it felt superb casting, very fast action tip so it flicked the 8g SP out no problem. (see CI catch reports for detail on the SP i'm currently using).
Despite the nasty wind I could feel the lure moving round with just a very slight bend in the tip and was dead easy to just give it a flick to re-align the lure with tide. Hard to get it to depth with the wind but felt good. Fishing with no link and a size 1 texas hook it was very slow sinking and almost suspending at about 5ft. perfect!!
the fish didn't play ball but at least I got a quick hour in.
Just need to sort the reel now as the 4000 twinpower was a bit heavy really.
Look forward to catchign a fish on it!!
