Was wondering where this post went ..

, another spinning / plugging rod to look at is the Penn Legion range , 10ft , cast weight 2-4 oz and 24T graphite with a carbon wrap ..

... the Torque range of spinning rods looks impressive as well with some vast ranges of casting weights , the 12 ft version throws from 4-10 oz ... hmmm interesting indeed .

If you find one, keep me in the loop. Also very interested.

MIKE PIKE · « **Reply #35 on:** February 10, 2013, 08:37:34 PM »

Western Accesories stock them , not sure on the pricing though i think 2k , Doc got his 2nd hand for a bargain .... and its the slim blank as well , nice and light .... eish so many rods and such little time...

REEFMAN · « **Reply #36 on:** February 10, 2013, 08:40:35 PM »

I don't want one before Mapelane though. Got enough of a dilemma already trying to decide which tackle to use... eish!

MIKE PIKE · « **Reply #37 on:** February 10, 2013, 08:53:23 PM »

... same here looks like a cane forest in the tackle den , trying to figure out what stays and what goes ....

... heres a pic anyway to confuse the issue even more ...

.checked on the specs its 12ft6" ..3-5 oz ...
