Anyone tried this cheap egi rod out.

[gozz]

Came across this cheap egi rod and was thinking of buying one to use on the yak.
Any one have one and what do you think if you do.
I mainly use 2.5 jigs.

Thanks.

Theres cheap price and then there is cheap quality. This is a step below a handline. Forever seeing problems with ebay rods.

Tried a Saratoga brand rod a while back, was disappointed with the finish to say the least.. Maybe I just tried a bad example
On the other hand and for similar price is this one:

Sworn by as a great budget rod - the "Dropshot of squid rods" by those in the know

I use a berkeley egi. Very parabolic action and is also good for trolling lures for lake trout.

Thanks mate I forgot about those.
Any idea where I can get one, I rang around but no one had then.
I'd the dandenong area.
Thanks again.

Thanks buddy.
A mate has one and it's a nice rod but a bit to good for the kayak.
