i have just bought my dad a centrepin reel and am now looking for a rod for it.i live in scotland so most of the c/p rods are for course fishing which would do ok but i then saw the steelhead centrepin rods.since he fishes for trout he would be better off with one of these.the clarus is the only one in my price range apart from a couple of rapala and browning models cant afford a loomis or raven right now and its also 4 piece which he can keep in the car and use when he gets the chance.im thinking about getting the 11ft model when i checked $99 was about £60 could you e-mail me the exact price and postage to glasgow,scotland G82 2QQ postcode if this help probably have the money nearer x-mas so hpe they will be in stock since i think this would be the ideal rod for him.
