Even though I think your a grumpy old c@nt I have a 13 ' set up with reel running line and shooting head he can have for nothing as it just sits in my garage gathering dust ...anything to get a young lad started

Anyone who refuses a kind gesture like that needs their head seeing too.

No worries ...I bought my young lad one of these this season he's only nine and has nearly mastered it

An unbelievable rod for the price not just the action but the quality of the blank ,rings and handle ....a very forgiven rod as well ...I have the 11ft set up with airflow forty plus lines that act like a shooting head that roll casts with eeze but easier to cast than skandi heads so ideal for a beginner .

If truth be known I picked up this rod more than my more expensive set ups the past few outings last month I was fishing with a famous footballer that fished with it for a few days and went out and bought one .

I can't recommend these rods enough for value for money

Hope that helps

Well well. Common ground and what a nice result. I hope everything works out well and the lad gets the benefit of what friends are all about. Jok.

many thanks for help advise for grumpy old Cnut maybe get one myself as I liked a smaller rod due to motobilty issues after breaking my pelvis start of year Would I be able to get these on ebay as my son has account ? Also at that kind of price recomend any decent budget stocking foot waders and boots for him too . Edited October 26, 2016 by scottish lurcher

Give this lad a shout regarding waders he used to on here but don't know if he still is ....his service is second to none

got to agree with what mike is saying about that rod you would be amazed at the amount off experienced anglers that have took to the oracle rods now all I hear is got it as a back up every time you see them wits in their hand the oracle good gesture by the mik

I've a pair of linneaffe chests, they're cheap as chips and last well. I abuse mine, I use them beach, rocks and estuary aswell as crab potting

[MIK 4,763]

Wouldn't be very good for salmon fishing

As MIK says the shakey oracle is a fantastic rod for the money.
