Reviews & Where To Buy
When rating the build quality of a rod, consideration has been given to the basic components.
These include the materials used in the blank, handle, reel seat, and line guides.
We also take into account any additional features that make life on the bank easier for anglers.
How a rod casts is one of the key fundamentals that determine a great rod from a mediocre one.
Easy, frictionless casting that provides accuracy and distance is all rated in this category.
The ability to play fish effectively is an important feature of any fishing rod.
Fishing is a sport, and as part of this sport, feeling the pulls, lunges, and the fight of a fish is an exhilarating experience.
This is all taken into account when rating fishing rods.
How much any fishing rod costs is always a key factor in an angler's final choice.
A rod can have all the bells and whistles under the sun, but if it is unaffordable, it may not be the best choice for some anglers.

The Greys Stalking Rod is fairly unique in the way that it comes in a 7 foot version, which is a rare length in the stalking rod world. It does however also feature in a more traditional 9 foot version as well.
The smaller version will limit your casting ability to an extent although the progressive action the rod possesses does allow for a decent whack out with a fairly heavy lead.
If you are in the market for a shorter rod and dont wont to pay the earth, this nice offering from the reputable Greys is definetly wortth your consideration.
