Excellent! The rod sounds very capable every time I hear about someone using one, please let me know if you do test it with a balance, shame about the reel however…Cat wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 11:43 am Hi Dipper,
Haven't tested it with a balance, but used it yesterday afternoon and it tamed a 20lb hard fighting mirror (biggest of the season, first cast!) with adequate control, including a trip into the lily pads. The newly polished Intrepid Continental line guide wasn't quite up to the same standard with another groove appearing. The rod has a pretty good through action when loaded.
Regards Cat
Many thanks!
