Would like to give a big shout out to Mick at Mr.Fish, for his time on the telephone giving advice and info on all the above. Highly recommended as usual.
So how do you like the Varivas Violente? I've been considering getting one, but I've had a hard time finding any reviews or anything about it.
ReplyDeleteI have now sold the Violente on, only to fund another Nories LRF style rod. I found the Violente to be very sensitive, great for the Harbour's, but also I used it a lot in the Estuary at night, on the larger Pollack, and had a few decent Bass with it. I found it suited better to the small soft plastics, it did struggle a bit with some small metals around the 5g mark. The actual rod is very good quality, nice construction and looks great as well. If I had the funds, would have kept hold of it for sure.
