i'll check the tides and get back to you

Hey, what have you got to loose. A mate bought a Fladden Uptider 17 quid, it does the job, after a year he's upgrading a bit, but there are a lot of rod snobs around.

A decent fisherman with a cheap rod will outfish a c==p one with cono-ziplex-penn whatever.

Its your end tackle that the fish see - make sure thats right!

i think the 12ft powerstick is the fladen rod which i have which you had ago with, but i paid £13
its a fine rod, does the job
this weekedn we could try abit of night fishing, you fancy it?
stokes bay maybe?

I've used the 12' Fladen Powerstick and found it to be an acceptable rod, it has a nice casting action and casts 5-6oz leads with ease,I've even dragged up a 10lb Blonde ray with it. I use it when i fish in ultra rough terrain where you can't even use a rod rest due to the nature of the rocks you fish from,I only payed £20+ for it so i don't mind if i scrape or scratch it, unfortunately i snapped off a couple of rings when i fell on it when i slipped on the rocks. The way i look at it if it gets you fishing its done its job, you can always upgrade when you want to look for diffrent properties in a rod.

thanks for the advice guys, will go and get one today

oh yeah welly if it dose break than i will add a duster to the end and give it to the missus so she can do the celings

£26.00 for a rod and a cobweb cleaner, can't be bad

[Rob M]

The way I look at it is that the fish don't know what rod you use, they're just after your bait
