Has anyone tried out a Silstar Graphite Surf rod?

I am looking at the GS-1503SFM 15 foot, 3 piece.
Many thanks Colin Hay

I have
the 12' two piece Col - it's nothing spectacular but it's a good sound rod and has accounted for a few a few GT's and miscellaneous other stuff over the years. Pretty good for something that cost me $25 from the Happy Hocker in Vic Park years ago.

The Happy Hocker That brings back memories Ian
The 15 foot version is only $98 new. Pretty good value

For a cheap rod
i really have no problems other than the gel coat rubs off pretty easily. I think when i bought it the new price wasn't much over $25 anyway - i did get a Silstar eggbeater as part of the deal - THAT was a piece of poo.
