Not sure If Dave Lane is still with them tbh, his monthly blog is now sponsored my monster particles, apparently matt Hayes didn't have any input into tackle design either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mind using 10ft rods tbh, however I do prefer the 12ft, they seem to be more controllable on casting and they don't look too short on the buzz bars, it's all about how they feel though I prefer the longer handle of a 12ft rod I think Highy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want the end of the butt only just past, or even in line with my elbow. 31 minutes ago, Highy said: Got the 3, and to be honest, not that keen, may keep hold u til they grow on me, but not a particular 10foot fan myself.
