Many thanks for the advice.
As it turns out it was the AU model (hence the good price).
I've since declined the offer. Consensus is that they aint reel good rods & not worth the money, even at sale price.
On another note I'm looking for a reasonbably priced egi rod for boat use.
Started out a while back with a 7 foot Gladiator & was quite happy with it's performance, but that has now been passed onto ,my GF so I'm now in the market for another EGI rod.
Just wondering what recommendations you guys might have within say a $300 budget (give or take a bit).
Not looking at spending $600 & up as I'm not quite that dedicated a squid fish ;-)
I realise that 7 foot might be a bit short for LB squiddin' in some situations, but I've got to be honest & admit that 95% of my fishing is from my boat.
Not against going longer if there's advanatages to it but I've always had a preference for 7 footers for boat use (with all my rods). I'd also be interested in what you think regarding 7 foot vs 8 foot, etc.
Wadda ya reckon?
Thanks again in advance.
