Masterline Ideal XL 7ft spin rod.
.
This is my first impressions
This is a full carbon spin rod that has top quality stamped all
over it at a price everybody can afford the model I am reviewing is
7ft long 2 piece.
It has semore type single leg stand off lined rings that are spaced
perfectly for the rod.
the first thing you will notice is the quality and the weight it is
so light in the hand and beautifully finished .
As said this is a full carbon rod it has a cork handle and a none
slip but cap it has a Fuji type real seat
.
The john Wilson XL spin rod comes complete with a protective cloth bag
Note the diameter of this spin rod in the picture above and the spinner keeper ring for safe storage when paddling out to the fish
Above the full cork handle and the Fuji type reel seat this will hold your reel very securely the diameter and feel of the corked handle is very comfortable to hold
Securely crafted push over
joints make for a very neat strong joint it is important to notice
the A grade re-enforced whippings on the female side of the joint
this gives extra strength to the
joint
An important point here is notice how long the complete handle is just a tad under 16inches why this is important to us kayak anglers is with being in a sitting position if the handle was longer as is with many rods while casting it would hit your waist no such problems with this rod its just the right length for us to use comfortably all day
I feel the
overall quality and build of this powerful yet light rod is
superb.
It feels balanced and comfortable in the hand the fittings are of
the highest quality its just the right length for the kayak I feel
we have finally got a spinning rod that is perfect for our needs in
this rod it is both top quality and affordable .
It retails at £19.99
