Garbolino G8 - Talk Angling fishing chat and tackle advice

BaggieDell · 23rd January 2008, 03:23 PM

Had a look at one of these today looks good for the money (stiff, good wall strength and good spares package).

I've narrowed my options down to the following:-
1. Maver 371
2. Garbolino G8
3. Diawa All Terrain.

All are around £1500 and I wil be using it for mainly 'cut' fishing.
Anyone got any feedback good or bad before I shell out my hard earned readies.

all i buy now mate is garbolino. ive had a few from other big names but they have all been inferior to the garbolinos.

to be honest mate if your only using it for the canal do you realy want to spend that much? why not buy a garbolino antidote 16mt, 1 match top kit ,3 carp tops, short number four ,long number four. although the carp tops are light enough to use at full length they still fish very well with light elastics. ask the dealer can you exchange the carp tops for match kits.

Tried the Antidote to floppy more of a carp pole.
