I think i got a bargain,i bought a 9' 6/7 2 pce shakespeare odyssey today for 18.99 euros that is 14.95 sterling,( the price of five pints).I only called to the tackle shop for a spool of nylon and came out with this rod. I fished my local river this evening and i was very suprised with it,its a very nice rod to use.I have always fished 10'6" rods but after tonight im going to down size all my tackle,i got four very good trout and this rod handled them perfectly.i have always found it strange why alot of you folk fished short rods but after tonight i understand.After a long time fishing i think its going to be a change for the better.
