Re: hi there,,
Welcome to the forum. As Snape says, it is all about the way you fish. I fish with cane for most species but I don't have a cane carp rod, so I use an old fibreglass one. I still fish in the the same way, just with different kit.
Old car owners never die....they just rust away

Re: hi there,,
Welcome. I use cane and Hardy glass. I like the early 80's retro theme as well as my cane rods.
