Best way to get it past SWMBO, "it's for the wee man".
Of course I might be persuaded to give it a go.

Highly recommended, fast action, plenty of backbone for long trotting and fantastic quality.

Decided to have a look today for a rod and was going to GAC but tried Cafaros first. Got a Mitchell Universe II 12' match rod and was given a good discount off the RRP and also a free cloth bag. Glad I went in to Cafaros and as usual had a great wee blether.
