Poseidon rods
Submitted by Colin Hay on Tue, 2008-02-19 13:17
I have been doing a bit of reading up on the Poseidon surf rods made by Kingfisher in South Africa. They sound pretty hot and have been rated very highly by a few fishing sites.
Apparantly some models have interchangeable tips so you can match the type of fishing you are doing. They are also said to be great for casting long distances.
Has anyone ever seen or tried one?
Does anyone know if you can buy them locally at all?
All information would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah Colin they are
Yeah Colin they are available locally. We've got them in stock. They are made by a South African company called Kingfisher. The interchangeable tips are great, lets you cast a variety of weights.
Oh and we got more reels in as well, might even have something to suit. Drop in and check them out.
