This next season I shall be spending much of my time on a small snaggy river, pretty much hook and hold most of the time.
Having a couple of visits last season, a 12ft rod was a massive hinderence as the banks are very overgrown with over head tree cover in most swims and very little room.
I have a 1 1/2lb 11ft Harrison blank, great little rod, but I feel it may be a little soft and "undergunned" for the challenge, but bang on with the length (as yet only used it for single figure carp).
If I need to go for a bigger test curve it would have to be a used rod as finance is tight.
Would you go up in the test curve gents ?
And if so, any suggestions on a make or model ?.
May be a bit of a duff question, but if I dont ask, I wont learn.
Regards, Paul.
