Fishing into dark last night and stupidly caught my rod in the door of the car.
Looking for some recommendations on a rod around similar quality as my previous rod (westin w3 streetstick 2-7g)
Would like to maybe get a bit of a longer rod up to 7ft 4inch.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

If you've only bust one section it might be worth seeing if the manufacturer will sell you a replacement piece.might work out cheaper than buying new

The 2-10 StreetStick is a cracking rod. 7ft and about inch or 2 I think. Great for DS as well as finesse fishing.

Just as a follow up to this. Was using my mates 0.5-7g lrf one.
Really happy with the sensitivity and feel of it. Had a number of pike on it up to about 6lb also.
He himself is upgrading his rod so i just got a bargain on his old one. Result.
