VERDICT

I CAN foresee Preston’s new Monster Wandzee becoming a must-have rod.

It will find a place in my winter pole holdall, for times when the pole line is made unfishable by the wind.

It would be as much at home casting a straight bomb with bread discs for bigger fish in open water as it would be pinging a maggot feeder up the far bank of a snake lake for F1s. I suspect a certain Mr Des Shipp had a hand in its development, and the boy done good!
