Jack the Lad Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hi there, I've been offered a RT Carbostick 12lb boat rod. Price seems very reasonable and a TSF write up makes it look good. Unfortunately TSF seems to rate every RT product as very good - perhaps everything is But has anybody actually got personal experience of one of these rods? If so, are they any good?

Bob F Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Jack, Paul D recently got a carbo stick but I can't remember if it was a RT or a Fladden. What ever it was, he rates it very highly. Seach for "carbo" with the Forum search tool to find Paul's old post. BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Lad Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Thanks Bob, I went ahead and bought it - seems very good value. Matched it up with an Abu 6500C3 and gave it to my beloved for her Birthday. She's very pleased and caught a bass , almost first cast ! Lucky rod etc or something to do with pheromones Cheers - Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Pheromones surely. I bought the Fladen solid-c rod for Helen ( honestly ! ) and matched it up with a ABU 6600 LD reel. Caught a couple of doggies and pout on it. Helen has had three bream on it ( to 3lb 12 oz ! ). My only regret is not getting the next size up ( 20-30lb as opposed to 12-20lb ).
