Can anyone recommend a decent swingtip rod? (I know no-one uses them any more but I still don't think they can be beaten for bream fishing)
I'm currently using an old Shakespeare Alpha leger rod (9.5ft and made of glassfibre) which has a beautifully soft action but isn't really long enough for fishing at distance.
I've tried butchering a push-in quivertip to make a swingtip attachment for one of my other tip rods but none of them feel quite right.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted (apart from the new John Wilson avon/quiver - I've tried that and its way too powerful)
