Default Rod for DI-7

Chaps, Help.....! Im looking for a rod that will cast a DI-7 between £90-£120ish. I love a really fast action rod... as light as possible... I was thinking of a 10' 8 weight.

Your help would be really helpful... thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply mate. Bloke rods tend to be very heavy though?

Countless candidates but if no luck with the Bloke rods, have a look at these 'Vision Attack'.. bargain.

I tried the Diawa Wilderness and found the 9'6'' 7/8 Wychwood Truefly suited my casting better.

Wychwood just felt perfect in the hand and the action was quite a bit faster than the Diawa. Also, 40 odd quid cheaper... so I ended up buying the Truefly and spent the rest on accessories.

Happy days..... thanks guys.

I would recommend the Wychwood Truefly a really lovely action... excellent fittings for the money... looks very smart too. I cant wait until tomorrow to try it out.
