Today I thought I would treat myself ( no particular reason).
Ive ordered a new lure rod, Savage Gear SGS5 9’6”, 12-46g from Uttings. I decided on the heavier rated model not for casting heavy lures but at the mark I fish the most, Bass often have to be bullied a bit through the bladder wrack.
My present rod is a £30 Okuma and I’ve had loads of Bass on it over the past five years so it owes me nothing and I’m sure it will get used again in the future.
It will be interesting to see how a £150 rod compares with the £30 rod. I will hopefully know the answer come next June…….
