I advise anyone iterested in fishing with big rods to give this rod a go. Its a power machine for very reasonable price. B&W do other models with more luxury ,but for practicality this line of rods will take a lot to beat. Also all the proto work is done with the gillys on the Spey,& beleave me these boys can cast a line.
I myself also have a sage 12'6 8 weight ,good rod ,but I would change it towmorow for the 12' B&W. The main differance with the Sage you dont feel the rod load down at the but, with the B&W you feel the rod loading .
They also do a specialised rod the Whisker which has 2 tips &2 middle sections,so you can have a 10-11 weight & 7-8 weight.
If you get the chance to try this make of rods please give them a go,its worth it.
