I wanted one of these but my local tackle store only had the dwarf in stock at the time. I know it's not the same rod but they're in a similar category, I bought the 10ft version and it's miles better than my last setup (Nash outlaw spod I bought for like £10), tip feel is great, I can hit a medium dot spot about 120 yards and that's all I need it to do.

I have it paired with an okuma inception and spectra braid, I'd have gone for a bigger, chunkier reel but the guys at my local weren't fans of the okuma bomber. It pairs nicely if I'm honest.

I have the 9ft spod rods and can't fault them. Wouldn't bother with the reels though, awful. When I first got them a couple people on my lakes said the reels were terrible especially the line clip and braid that comes on them as it's like cotton. I used them twice I think and got rid of them. Had the braid snap on 3 consecutive casts so stripped the braid and put on some 70lb stuff. Next time out had exactly the same problem so got rid of them
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
