Bit too floppy for me, I prefer something that sits still in the wind. |

I have heard one report of a longbeam breaking, but that was 3 years ago and nothing since so probably a one off. Although not top of the range Daiwa do give value for money and these are soft rods so you will load them up easily when casting.  |

Problem this end is that I have too many rods, come to think of it I have too many reels as well.
Must de-clutter! lol

I have a Shimano Nexave 13' for fixed spool - a SHimano Technium 12'9" beach for multi and a Conoflex Highlander 13' also for multi.
Managed to get all 3 for about £210.
Cant wait to hit the coddies this winter and really try out the Highlander over the rough stuff.
Tight lines all |

I also cant wait, I do need a reel but only a cheap one does anyone know of a "ok" reel under say £30?
Do i have some sort of warranty if it did happen to break, not that im that worried as i doubt the fish i catch will put much strain on it! |
