My new weapon for the summer!!!

With the summer season fast approaching, I thought it was time I treated myself to a new plugging rod. Working in a tackle shop I had every catalogue out and I started my search. There were a few nice examples but nothing that jumped out and said 'BUY ME!!!'.
The week after one of the reps was in the shop showing us a new plugging rod from abu garcia. The 'Fantasista Oren'ji'. I held it and fell in love with it...I had to have one.

The very next day I was on the phone ordering one. Watching every delivery for it to arrive it but no sign of it. Then one day I had a phone call from our warehouse saying there was a strange rod arrived on its own from Holland. I knew exactly what it was. For the next few hours I was like an over excited child at Christmas waiting for it to be brought down to the shop.

And here she is:

Intitally I was concerned about the rod being too powerful with the casting weight being up to 70g so i put an 18g plug on and it fired it out like a bullet.

Good times to be had I think :)
