Looking for a single hander for salmon fishing in low water. Planning to put a OPST Commando head on so needs a bit of a beast.

Not a 10 footer I'm afraid, but I do have a beast Iain.

An Orvis Access 9 footer rated #12 ..... which Ben built for me for the 25 gram sea trout distance casting competitions.

It was a special order blank from Orvis, it is in the cupboard somewhere and would be pretty much like new.

I can't remember if I've actually cast it or not, as there was another one on the go at the time.

Cheers
Mike

That would likely take my tricep with it Mike  *smiley-funny*. I think I may be sorted now as had a couple PMs. Very much appreciated though as it sounds like it could indeed be a bit of fun.

I had four on and lost them last week sadly. One was a fresh tank too as it leapt out rhe water and was somewhere between 18-22lbs so would have been a PB. But struggled to keep them on last week.  :X1
