| Re: Quiver tip advice Suppose i should get a reel to go with it... What about this package? Any good do you's reckon? I'd prefer a 10ft rod though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shakespeare-om...#ht_1528wt_911 |

| Re: Quiver tip advice They both look good for that money but for me, I would go for the Shakespeare omni, I have a couple of Shakespeare rods and they tend to be very under rated. I would much prefer an 11 ft one in preference to a 10ft one as you should be able to pick your line up from the water a bit easier and you'd be surprised how much it improves control and your strike. Shakespeare are trying to get their name back; in the late 70's the Engand team used the Shakespeare Match International designed by Clive Smith & Ken Giles and Shakespeare followed this with some other superb 1st class match rods in the 80s. Since the early 90's they seemed to go out of fashion and dropped in popularity and lost their grip on the UK market, but they have started trying to get their name back and producing some gems once again. The Omni range has been around for quite a while. Anyway whichever one you choose good luck and tight lines. __________________ My Web Site (The Average Coarse Angler) Happiness is Fish Shaped (It used to be woman shaped but the wifes getting on a bit now) |
