I have just had a look at the Black diamondCLEARCUT 6’6� 1-3KG (2pc)

I notice they have a ultra small but anyone used these rods and find this is a drawback. and are these really worth the money compared to the aboce for example.

I had the short butt on the Flatranger 1-3 and personally didnt like it. I found that the balance was less than good. Thats just my opinion though, a lot of people really like it.

I am pretty sure they will make all the rods with a longer rear grip if thats what you want anyway.

The ultra short butt is magic on the CC and there are two ways to balance these rods. The power is really progressive on the 1-3kg and there's a lot more power than you would think at first look. I doubt you would be dissappointed.

Out out interest why are you after fast action?

strudy sik stic pro 6'6 1-3kg and spend the rest on lures....cheap rod but im so used to it im afraid to change

[DACORD]

i want a fast action so it does not almost bend in half when i cast a lure i got a diawa rod and it almost whacks me in the back of the head when i cast. dont really like that. but still want the tip to be sensitive and a bit flexi

[seamonkey]

The CC won't do that!

You'll find its very crisp even though being more moderate in action...not in the slightest bit sloppy.

The starlo stick is a good choice.. I can cast 30gm lures easily without it folding, but can cast unweighted plastics far enough too. Im sure most rods in your price range will be suitable, its just a matter of how it feels in your hand...

Hasting 660ds is a fast taper i use the 700dhx and love it Very similar actions
