Hi,

I use 12 foot Daiwa Powermesh 2.25 TC for most of my UK fishing, but stepped up to the awesome Greys X-Flites 12 foot 3.5 TC for all my fishing abroad, These X-flite are simply the nutz.

Go with Greys....

I have a full set of Prodigy Rods, with the Greys Spod & Marker rods.

Best thing is they have a lifetime guarantee.

Any damage what so ever will only cost you £15 per section.

To be honest there are alot of good rods out there and if the budget was endless then i would go with a set of free sprits.

But when set of three without reels are just under £1000 then i know that most people are going for the cheaper option, (myself included).

I have tested alot of rods, and the budget rods that some of the big manufactures sell are spot on, as the blanks are often the same as the exspensive ones, the only difference being the reel seat and rings, which only makes a small difference to the overall feel of the rods.

Again lots of tackle tarts out there willing to buy a name instead of the action and feel of a rod.
