Haha my dad was asking me SO straight away!! Nick they were already planning what they and like of my gear!! I'm concerned!! The Sirens are stocked by ocean active, and Saltywater tackle and maybe GPS (luke?) from what I understand- they are pretty hot commodity, so you have to move fast!! Great value for money!

How did the Racepoint 200 perform Matt ?

It seems like a good rod for the money although I felt it was a bit top heavy compared to a couple of others I tried out when I waggled one in the shop (albeit without a reel on). One of my mate's has got one so I'll  see it in action at the weekend all being well.

I've had the 250 for over a year and loved it, but felt that I was being beaten to the punch sometimes with casting distance. The 200 makes that up instantly!! And I have such faith in rod! After using it myself I can honestly say its awesome. Great power, great tip for stickbaits, I haven't tried a popper yet. And I have seen Sami winch in monsters on it! Definitely worth the money!

Very nice report Matt and thank you for sharing.

Is that stunning long pink and silver stickbait a Moutekenmaru?  Beautiful looking thing.

And, you dad and I share the same taste in watches :)
