thanx for the reveral Serra@ dbnpoizn$ - If you are still looking of an outfit, I would suggest you send a PM to JJ Pienaar, he sort you out in no time. Tell him your budget and he'll take it from there.
Even with the 'plastic' guides my 902 doesn't show wear. Used fireline and braid without any problems in surf fishing for 2 years and now fresh water use. Still remains my favourite rod.Hi Guys,
The Exceller is a great rod...BUT. the guides does give up after a while in salt water.
Buying a R900 rod with plastic guides, is not the best.
I have 2 Loomis Platinums 9 - Heavy and 9 Ext Heavy, the rod is excellent all round. At R450 each...can't complain.
My personal choice go for the Loomis.
