I quiver tested yesterday during a fishing trip for the first time in the field. I am very happy with it because it (depending on the size, I have 1.80 m version in the extended state) very solid and stable and has little weight. 300-500g a trout is not really a weight, but a 2.3-kilo salmon trout, you can already specify as a reference point, I mean, and that was no problem for the part, as I said also in the extended state is not. I give a strong buy recommendation on the 1,80m version (extended).
