1/cost ....Discontinued...@£150 second hand
2/what the max casting weight is ....4oz - 8oz
3/bite detection ....average
4/why you like the rod ....slim,light,casts well with big baits/leads
5/what you use it for ie rocks/shore/piers ...beaches/proms
6/other info ....Prefer the rod to be slightly longer,as i am more comfortable with a high reel position,and the butt section is a tad short for me.

Daiwa AWB129PM. 12ft 9inch. This rod is now discontinued because the materials (Amorphous Braid) became very expensive. It cost me £100 (second hand), casting weight ratings are 4 to 8oz, with 5oz being best. In the right hands, it can cast a long way, but can be tempremental. The bite detection is good. I use this rod on open beach and semi-rough ground. Still a very sought after rod and will fetch good money.

I heard it was because of its (silica) based structure health and safety would not allow its production,
Maybe we may get them from China in the future. Not for kids though :lol: :lol:
Sea fishermen are born honest. But they soon get over it.
