nice rod mate I've got the 1-3kg which is perfect for sp's.
1500 reel right size for breaming
what poundage is ur line ?? I have 1 spool with 4lb green and the other with 6lb pink, but 4lb is the general choice.

Sorry I was in a rush by N/A I meant to say I havent made up my mind yet.
Im using 6lb line. Whatever leade r I end up purchasing its going to be 8lb. Backing is 4.5kg mono.
You can rate it a one for all I care, I just want to know some peoples opinions.
Cheers

L M other people opionons are second to what you feel comfortable with or can afford. Strudwick aren't a bad rod. A rex special I would be telling you it is naughty :-)naughty :-)naughty :-)naughty :-). Daiwa Kastor are alright as well. Do you catch fish and do you feel comfortable using it ?. Thats what matters in the end.

leader turned out to be seaguar when i got my reel today. greg (fish_man) taught a little about fireline, too. the set ups great very comfortable and light, cast liek a beauit. I cast 30+ mtrs on 12gms on more then 30 occasiosn just when i got home. the line 'zings' through the guides. its sensitive too
my rod was free so beat that:D

i won it off www.fishvictoria.com. I had to go fishing several hundred times (guesstimate) to win it. I should've got teh 6'6 1-3kg, but whatchya gonna do (I was young and stupid)?
I was casting about 12 gms so I could get the loops out of my line. so when i go fishing i dont get any knots.;)
