Hello! I'm an italian angler. I'm looking for a 2 pieces fiberglass rod of
about 6/7oz casting power.
I could not find what i look for, even searching on internet. It seems

they
don't exist. Can anybody help me, please?




a lot of rods nowdays use mixtures of materials,
the cheaper ones are either all fibreglass or all carbon,
with the the former you have a floppy rod,
with the latter a too brittle one that will break easily and cast like crap.
best combination is carbon butt, mixed middle,
and fibreglass tip with carbon or kevlar strands.
