Andy135 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 I reckon that can be repaired. Might be a bit shorter afterwards but still very useable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a spigot joint in it, it won’t affect the action anywhere near as bad as if it were the top 1/3. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Ok so I’m in the market for a new spinning rod. Doesn’t need to be expensive, just a good action to it. I cast things like surface poppers and C lures. Also I mackerel and bass fish with them. What’s recommended?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 What do you define as a good action? Personally I prefer a fast tip action, but others like a through action that bends into the last third of the rod. If you can be more specific on what sort of action you like we can give better suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the spinning rod I use to blank on the mackerel!! mine like that is good enough. It’s pretty soft and casts around 10-45g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome to have a wiggle of mine next time we're out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_Egg2012 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I purchased Nomura Kanji early last month, really like the rod and has good reviews. You need to not be bothered by the rods colour though as its white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
