Yes mate, i have set of 4 used them for a year now, brilliant rod for the money can hit 100yards no problem ( most of my fishing is 10yards to about 70yards) if you needed to, play fish really well i canr fault them tbh, had fish to high 20's in some situations where i have needed to put some pressure on been spot on.

They play fish really tbh, not to stiff, i opted for the 3.5lb for snag fishing and weedy water plus if i want to fish at abit of distance i can.

I live very close to willen, its a public lake so has all worps of life going around it any time of the day i havnt herd any reports of any incidents on there, Got some lovely fish in it, the otter has been seen on there for years but the good fish are still getting caught, plenty of bird life on the lake to keep the otters busy.

I have Avid traction pro 10ft in 3.5lb thryeyave a longer handel on them so feel like a normal rod can hit 100yards with them no problem, i have mine pared with emblem 35 5000 reels, i dont think i will ever go back to 12ft or 13ft unless i need a bigger chuck.

Hi guys fishing a lake with floating weed the lake has a slight flow to it so its always building up and gathering in the margins rods being wiped out the lale bead its self is fine its just this surface crap thats doing my head in. Can you guys give me some advice how u would tackle it. I just want to see if i can adapt the way i am fishing it.



Many thanks in advance

I had 3 Basia QDX reels for about 7 years, i used them almost every weekend they never let me down, these reels get a bad press saying they sound like coffee grinders ect. They need to be look after thats all. I dont get why people would spend £400plus on a reel abuse it then moan its sounds and feels rough.

Nice and light on your rod set up, awesome linelay a fantastic smooth clutch.

Hi guys,

Anyone here own the spomb 10ft MR rod

I want to know of it has a 40mm.butt ring and if it has a good handle length unlike most of the 11 10ft rods they have really short handles.

Many thanks

Any one here own a the 10ft spomb rod or knows what the Handel length is like on it? Does it have a decent handle length or is it a short length?

Many thanks 🙏

Nice, I have just ordered 3 in 3.5lb. Need to get some reels now. Can't decide on what to get.
