Pay review came this week in after a hellish year; add to that it was on offer for £116.. (~£150-180 originally) bought a rod that I wanted for years - Diawa Saltist Braid Special 12/20lb.
It will have a similar build to my little jigging rod - braid only and slim, but will bend well for braid unlike the ug stick.
You must have more rods n reels than the local tackle shop by now
