Hardy, before grabbing your own, I suggest you wait until it's proven this rod has teeth in the fish landing department. Casting a mile is one thing, it's usually the last twenty metres through the surf where a rod (any rod) needs prove itself.

Good luck with the escape committee. I still believe you need to tread warily using the words ginger and puffs, Veritas could get all behind with their orders.

I have heard a whisper the new cloth rod bag is totally fashion conscious and available in several colours. We all know it takes that little something extra to will go with a new 'Sparkling' white rod.
