i must agree with adam
i must agree with adam there. jarvis walker arnt really reputed that highly anymore but they are good for an occasional fish as they do the job. they just dont last as long.

The rod might be ok
but the reel won't last on my experiences.

Spot on Col,
i have a JW combo - well the rod at least - the reel used to get the line snagged behind the spool before it finally fell apart. Rod is quite ok but the wind reel foot lock has worn quickly.

Liam - get a nice pic of a fish for the junior comp
and you won't need to buy a new combo mate.
