Hey peoples,
I've fished for blackfish for 10 or so years down in East Gippsland, and for most of the time have used a 10ft glass rod, 4-8kg (Wilson I think...) It was $110 14 years ago, which was big $$$$ for me at 17 yo.
The old girl has has caught me plenty of fish, but after reading an article, earlier this year, I blindly bought another rod that the author recommended:
Shakespeare Agility, 10'6", 1-4kg, light action. Fantastically light to hold (being graphite)with nice cork grips.
Since then, I haven't had a chance to fish with it, but it does seem VERY soft, which is a little disconcerting to me.
Does anyone here use one, or have any knowledge of them? Is it going to break with a decent fish on the other end????
Have I done the right thing, or should the old stick come out to play.....
