As a die hard traditional rod and line guy, I have stepped out of my comfort zone!
I thought what the hell! (and after my resounding success with a 4 metre whip! :D ) I went on Fleabay and bought myself a 9.4 metre pole with an extra top section, to try out ...

Just PM me what you want me to do/contact details.etc...

Hi from a new member!

Hi Guys!
