Shees Lenny I think 1200 would be a bargain! (Not in mama's eyes though)

Tested mine this past weekend and luuuurving it. Paired with a 5000 sustain it initially felt like slightly too little reel for the rod but once I got into it I think I hit Australia with a few casts! Unfortunately the snoek were not too co-operative. Paid just under 1200....

Yes Charles , Saw an Add in Magazine , and I see Cage , also paid about 1200.
Any tackle at any price is a BARGIAN [ hence I am still single ... ]

We got them in the OA shop today and I immediately snaffled one. Can't wait to test it out been looking for something like this for a while and was considering going for Japanese rod but the price make your eyes water slightly. Off to Sri lanka for 2 weeks then Vidal & St. Lucia for another 2 hoping to get drilled by some GT's and then Garrick back home in between eating bacon for every meal and consuming vast amounts of  :beer:

Looking forward to an update on the rod Cam Mundy! Enjoy that bacon and beer! Also stuck in a country where those delicacies are completely banned and know the cravings one have when at home!
