neil r 1,951 Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 I’ve sold my bass gear but when I did it I used a 9ft 12-42gm hto nebula . It’s brilliant with a very fast action and threw lures for miles . You read reviews saying the tip snaps but mine was sound and I’d put money on the breakages being user error 1 Quote Link to post

I'll have a look, cheers 1 Quote Link to post

I'll have a look, cheers I did have a savage gear rod , can’t remember the name and it wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t as good as the hto . Normally I wouldn’t look at a brand like hto but a few people told me to look at the nebulas and then someone I know bought one and let me have a cast with it and I ordered one as soon as I got home . Don’t know what the other rods they do are like but but the nebula is light with a very fast action and for around the 150 mark I can’t think of anything else I’d get instead of it 1 Quote Link to post
Borr 7,616 Posted June 1 Author Report Share Posted June 1 I picked up a second hand setup for less than half price so got myself a sgs2 9' , 7/35gm rod and a sharp little Preston reel and some braid. It'll give me a chance to see if I get a bug for it.... 5 Quote Link to post
