Bought a Gary Howard Breambo 4 Wrap 10"6" rod today together with a 6" Alvey and 9 lb line. Going to use it as a light rod off the beach for whiting, dart, bream etc.
Has anyone used this outfit before and what do you reckon.

As above, sounds perfect for what you intend to use it for.
Matt.
Sounds like a good combo....though I would think the 6" Alvey might be a bit heavy if it is the S/S plate model. I have a Wilson Shoreline 10'6" (almost identical to the Garry Howard but not as well made)and use a 5" alvey with the S/S plate and find it balances out perfectly. But it can be a personal choice thing...different strokes for different folks. Good luck with it and let us know after you have used it, how it went.
Cheers

I used to have a custom made 11' with a 6.25" alvey, though it was one of the models that doesn't have any metal on it.. I guess they're much lighter.
All my rods are Gary Howard because he makes great rods. I have seen the Breambo rods and they look and feel great. I was going to buy one until I spotted the Gary Howard Viper 9' which I dual use for bait work on Bream, Whiting, Dart etc and 40gm slug spinning for Tailor. I wish Gary would update his website to include all the great models that most people don't know exist.
I am also a Gary Howard fan and have the same rig Derek but use it to chase bream. The two that I use in the surf are the one piece "club surf" and the " swallowtail" Bruce
Agree with SleepyGreg, I would have gone for the 5" Alvey !!
I have the exact outfit (but run 6lb mono). I do prefer my old Snyder "Mossops Outcast Raider" but its due for new set of guides. I was lazy and bought a secondhand Breambo 4W off eBay.Originally Posted by Derek Bullock
The Breambo does the job well. I reckon you'll be fairly happy with it.
5" Alvey would probably be better but I don't own one. The 6" goes alright...
