Hi FW Crew, has anyone bought rods & reels from the Downrigger shop, in particular the snapper combo (mainly interested in the rod)

I broke a couple of rods on the weekend (don't ask!) so need to get a few replacements, and don't want to spend a fortune. Also considering a bulk spool of braid as the price looks reasonable.

I guess the gear probably comes from China or somewhere in Asia, but that isn't always a bad thing. Any feedback appreciated.

Cheers,

Browndog.
