New Rod :D

[Craig H]

Hey guys, got the Big Kev feeling at the moment (I'm excited, blah blah) :p

Anyways, t'was my birthday today and got some dosh from my olds. It was straight down to Gun-Mart in Midland for this little rabbit. Shopping for a new rod to match my recently puchased Shakespeare Catera reel :rolleyes:

Enter, the TICA Classic. Fell in love with it as soon as I picked it up and clipped my reel onto it. It has no details printed on the shaft/butt (and can't find any info on the net) so I can't tell you guys much about it... a short description and a crap photo follows:

6'0
"High Modulus Graphite"
Green and silver in colour
Black guides with what seems to be gold-plated guide inserts?
Nifty little ergonomic bulge on the back of the reel seat (VERY comfortable!)
Medium/Fast action and relatively stiff

Now just gotta get my non-boaters entry in for the next B.R.E.A.M round on the swan ;)

craigi had a look at that rod a couple of weeks ago just before walpole ,yes it is a good looking rod .
I tried it with the new TICA CERUS reel dont you think that bump could be a false finger trigger for a baitcaster.
