Hi 1969, I am using the Berkley Venom 11ft rod and enjoying it, it is quite a bit heavier than the 10ft though. They are good sticks.

Thanks Tommo i looked at the 11 ft because i wanted a 11 ft rod , but i found the 10ft just felt better in my hand . I am sure i will get plenty distance with 45 gram spoons and get more clearance over the bricks ( I HAVE A 9FT WHICH I LOVE BUT I HAVE LOST SEVERAL FISH BECAUSE I COULDNT GET MY ROD TIP UP HIGHER AND GOT CUT OFF )

Hi Tommo , looked at these Berkley Venom blood pythons the other day as well and was very impressed with them , especially the 10 ft as 1969 mentioned it just feels so well balanced in the hand, rated to throw 3/4 - 4oz is also an impressive feature , what is your views on the rod so far and would it manage a 4oz plug /spoon without overstressing the tip.. ? ........ only down side is the pricing .. :cnfzd  , Thanks Mike .

About 3K more or less , they vary from shop to shop + the negotiating skills of the buyer.. :hnthnt:
