New Arrivals

Ian just a thought, the daiwas have a bloody lovely thru action.... I have something similar.
I fancied something a little different so dug out some shimano calcutta 400s. It makes a sweet pairing and looks incredibly cool...... just saying a bit of old school cool with a ratchet is nice to mix it up. You will lose a little distance but they are solid little chaps..... and overrun free.
Bloody hell Pete, now I will have to look at Calcutta 400's, :) That's the only minus with the ST's, no clicker.:(

I paid £279 each for the 14' 6" rods from Uttings, they cant be beaten on price. £10 cheaper than the 13' 6" ones.

They weigh 690gms

Reel seats positioned and blinged.. ;)

How come you went for the 14ft 6 version??.
With casting mostly OTG, longer rods seem better, but I also Pendulum cast as well, so stiffer tips help, which these have. (y)

Ian.
 
Oh my god!! They are beautiful Diawa make some fantastic rods, The old High Performance Beach HPBM12 was my favourite of all the rods i have ever had. I really like the look of those you have there im sure they will be lovely to fish with.
 
Cant beat some new rods mate. And I know their are some on here who have more than me. ;)
