I recently switched to pallatrax gripz, thought it was a gimmick... it's not, would recommend.

You're looking at the same guy who puts his barbel in a keepnet. All jokes aside it's a circus, collingham weir is the barbel fishing equivalent of the grand fishing adventure. I'm surprised there isn't a queue of bait boats there. They can all crack on, I'll stick to hiding in a bush on the kennet.

Are you after it for mainline or for hooklength?

I'm after a decent spinning rod. Haven't done much in the past, and want to try a bit of winter drop shotting and lure fishing. Did a little research and the ugly stick elite looks really nice to me. Any experience with this rod? Or is there any better? I don't like the modern looking split...
