Is it confirmed by any reliable source that these rods are real?

I have used a few varities of both greens and platinums.

While the greens are good, when you cast a platinum the difference is quite big in my opinion

Faster, crisper, lighter, much more responsive

Really depends what you want for a rod and what you budget is as to what way to go

They seem reasonable second had now I assume because there’s so many I was looking at the 12ft 4lb or maybe an alternative
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
