Took it for its first outing and I am more than happy, amazing feel, light, responsive and with plenty of backbone to stop the crash dives from the pollack. Comfortably handled jigs up to 200g (sure it could go heavier but no need for that around here) and did exactly what I hoped, very happy.

I have used a number of slow pitch rods... read more including Evergreens and I think the Palmarius rods are better suited to how we fish in the U.K. (free drifting boats, strong tides etc) . They have just the right action to make pitching your jig seem really easy and have plenty of grunt down low to cope with hard charging double figure Pollock. Build quality is excellent and the guide train is really well thought out. Highly recommended

    5 Star Review  Having been commercial bass fishermen for over 20 years we thought that we had got all the bases covered, livebaiting... read more , shadding, all forms of eels,jellies etc, that was until we tried these little mayhem jigs, we were having a tough day on the inshore reefs, the fish were there but not taking any of our traditional lures, we suspected that they had gorged themselves on sprats and were not really feeding. We decided to dig out the spinning rods and tie on a couple of mayhems and see if we could tempt the fish to feed, we both dropped down and after the jigs got down to a depth of 65 feet in 70 feet of water they both stopped, both lures had been taken on the drop, to cut a long story short we caught over 40 bass in just over an hour, nothing big but it turned a poor commercial day into a successful one, we duly placed an order for more and a few days later we received them, these lures are now our “go to” lure when the fishing is difficult.
