i have had my 126m for nealy 2 years and i think its a very good rod
the butt diameter on mine is 26 mil if you are thinking of buying a reel seat best to take the butt with you then you get the best fit
hope this helps

hello, you can pick them up of ebay at 59.99 i think inc postage?
just search mustad viking multiplier and it should come up.
i got mine from burnley tackle shop but he did me a special offer as it was the last one i think
its a pleasure to use and its really forgiving if you mess up a cast!
i will be buying another shortley so ill go on ebay too.
hope this helps. |

notice your after a decent cheap rod.
have a look at the shakespeare mentor beach rods.
carbon composite and very low price tag starting at £20 for fix spool rod
and £25 for multiplier rod.  |
