looking for a new stick after breaking mine on the weekend. I have a Penn Torque 20 so what do you recommend mate? any ideas? The one I broke was a Crystal blue OH med stick. Love the action but the reel seat started to twist on the blank...........Feel the force.........
Max what sort of budget do you have some rods that spring to mind Shimano T curve 400,Shimano Jigrex pe5 5'6,Daiwa Hiroamasa pe5 5'6, Ugly stik bluewater complete angler has those on sale at the moment $100 Status pe5 6' Calstar pe5 5'4 trudwick sicstik 6' pe4 you must have have been giveing your crystal blue some hurt for it to break but then again any rod pushed to a certain point will end up a two-three piece all the rods I have mentioned I have used with different overheads.My current favourite is blue rose s60md on my torsa 40 kicks ass

you must have have been giveing your crystal blue some hurt for it to break but then again any rod pushed to a certain point will end up a two-three piece all the rods I have mentioned I have used with different overheads.My current favourite is blue rose s60md on my torsa 40 kicks ass
