I broke my long lived Daiwa Team X rod on Monday. I simply trod on it, right up close the handle, a full clean break. I thought I'd stick in in an old rod tube, as the rings are brilliant and you never know. Only landing a very nice roach on the rod over over a pound, that when the rod snapped, bugger?
So after the wake,
I got up in the loft for a rummage. I'd over 70 rods residing up here at one time, but sold many off to buy my Tri-Cast-rod and some small reels for trotting. I happened on a rod I'd not used much before, so it was in great condition in the tube. It's a 12.9'' Drennan IM8 specialist 2lb to 6lb lines. Well its a little gem I think, 3 piece n the action is fast, full cork. I wanted a rod for commercial silver fishing, but with big roach in mind really. I've matched it with my little Daiwa 2500 and Guru N-Gage 4lb .13 diameter main line. Thinking hook-link would be the 3lb thats around .11.
I also ordered the little rod suggested by one of the forum members, a Browning F1 micro waggler, it should come today 10' light. I'll feedback once it arrives and let you know how it performs. I've also resurrected the little Cadence wand for those better roach, another rod brought an under used. The tips are so fine if one farts I should see it, anyone else have this little rod? Enough of my rambling, best wishes all. Richard.
