Well the missus decided I was looking a bit down yesterday, what with not catching a bass for over 4 months now I am well and truly dejected so she said I shoul dget a new rod... :-D:wackit:
Obviously not knowing I just got a Vale Tudo but hey, why not...
So here it is. I have searched the forum and cannot see that the rod is mentioned anywhere. It's a Jap blank, build in france and for some reason has not taken off in the UK market as the UK well, doesn't know a good rod when they see one, hard lure rod but feels Ok with heavier SP's I got the 8ft version, there was a 9ft as well which had a much softer tip for SP work but I wanted it predominanty for hard lures. So what do you think it is??
I tried a few other rods as well, the Illex Corsaire but that was one put aside for someone else so i couldn't have it, and it didn't feel as good as the one I ended up with anyway. i tried out the XOR independence but at only 7-21g I already have a rod with identical spec (but not as nice, or expensive) and I wanted something to thrash Zonks etc about. Also had a go with some other brands. Anyway, here's the pics, i'll let you have a few guesses before I tell you what it is!!
