It looks good mate, just keep in mind it only has a cast weight of up to 12grams... which is not a lot.
edit: this one has a cast weight of up to 28grams https://www.anacondastores.com/fishing/ ... 6240-black

Fisho999 are you going 2-4kg rod with line with a breaking strain of around 6kg?

I'm wondering how you are managing to break rods. Harry highstick? To heavy in drag and line breaking strain? Exceeding the cast weight? Not taking care of graphite blank causing cracks etc? Or quality issues with the production rods.

no actually, it is quite embarrassing . i was testing to see how far the rod would load ( bend) and let's just say I bent it to far...

lesson learnt.

that might be a bit of a better option, will it be ok for trout? guess I could just use my present lure rod as a bait rod and use my ultra light for my lures when I'm targeting trout.

Ah fair enough most breakages can be avoided...

Hey mate I've had the same rod snap on me when used bait fishing, I'd recommend getting something more suited for it, it depends what weights you'll be casting too. I'd recommend something like a 8ft/9ft rod with a 2500-4000 reel. I've found the nomad x8 braid they sell at anaconda to be good for the price.

Haha mine snapped as well. Had it for a few years though.
Need another light plastics set up soon.

Bought mine from Alfs bait shop. I reckon the dog is selling shonky products

That rod is overkill for trout, get a 1-3kg model and don't bend the **** out of it, you will enjoy casting lighter lures on a 1-3kg

I already have a 1-3 for lures mate, its great. i thought the rod would be over kill, but a 2-4 kilo isn't is it?
