that sounds very impressive!!!! and too good to polish and put away for such long periods!!!! there is always something you can fish for assuming you are not working. Hopefully I will get to see it in action sometime.
First of all, let me say I fully agree with Andy, it is a stunning piece of kit :twisted: :twisted:myfish said:Sounds brilliant.
What a weight range.., Impressive report.
But...
How much £ ?
This is a lovely rod, really lovely but it isn't an allround rod. I've used it with Zonks, swapped outfits straight onto a rod bar with a zonk and there's just not enough fizz in the lure with the silver shadow. I tried a TM 175 flyer, it had NO action what so ever, tried a twitch bait, tried a patchinko they don't work. This will work with plugs but it isn't ideal. I've caught 2 bass on it, one on a feed shallow and the other on a zonk. It really is a Soft Plastics rod BUT used exclusively with SP, I quite agree within that superb casting range, it would do everything. I reckon I could use it with a waggler and double maggot too. I was just amazed I could cast such a UL weight and yet it's not an UL rod.saltiga said:I had a really negative thought about a rod such as this.
First of all if as claimed, it casts from less than a gram to over 30gms how do you justify buying any more rods?!?!?!? If your respective partners find out this rod is so versatile you might have a lot of trouble justifying any others!!!!!
I think the more rods I buy, the more 'niche' they become. Having a rod that does so much goes against all that. It does sounds impressive though to be able to do so much with one rod just don't tell the other half!!!

Yes Jon, it's the one I caught the Bass with standing next to Tracey, with the trebles impailed in my thumb.JonB said:Andy
Did you use the rod at teh Jersey festival?
There isn’t much difference, if any, between the Megabass freshwater rods and the salt versions. In fact, designed for fresh or saltwater all Megabass rods comes fitted with titanium framed guides and components that are more “saltwater safe” than the stainless steel version that you will find on many other salt spinning rods.Nick Phillips said:Ok time for a silly question..............
Which of the Megabass range (apart from xor ind ) are fully salt protected :?:
