Bloody hell Pete, now I will have to look at Calcutta 400's, That's the only minus with the ST's, no clicker.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.
I thought ST's were what women used every monthYou must have read my mind, ordered two more ST's...

With casting mostly OTG, longer rods seem better, but I also Pendulum cast as well, so stiffer tips help, which these have.How come you went for the 14ft 6 version??.
Still have a pair of these,nice rods.The old High Performance Beach HPBM12
im trying to get rid of the fecking things not collect anymore, one time I had over 50 rods , now I’m on a modest 12 rods no more happy with what I’ve got now , mind you those rods Ian look nice I used to have the old super casts now they was a nice rodCant beat some new rods mate. And I know their are some on here who have more than me.
