Has anyone tried out a Silstar Graphite Surf rod?

I am looking at the GS-1503SFM 15 foot, 3 piece.

Many thanks Colin Hay

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.

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.
