Patriarch 9525?

[jmc]

G'day,
Any advice on the Patriarch 9525? Want to match to Nitro Vapor 1-2 kg rod for light work, breaming in salt water. Any reports on corrosion issues, durability, quality of reel? Want this small size. Any other recommendations out there for about the same price?

I love my 9530. I had one issue where it got heavily rained on, copped some heavy salt spray and I fell asleep that afternoon and forgot to wash it out. The problem was my fault, sent it back to John Bell and he fixed it for me and sent it back in the space of three days!

I have 3 and cannot fault any of them, they match awesome with the Patriarch rods! So light.
