And heavy.
I thought they were only around 580g? That’s not too bad

My 13' is nearly 800gmsI thought they were only around 580g? That’s not too bad
Actually 821gmsMy 13' is nearly 800gms
The 14' is only 8gms more though...
Daiwa rods tend to be really light. Maybe one of theirs might be the best option?Sorry bud I was taking about the sonik gravity! Yep I think the 6 and bait would be too heavy for dad to use as he’s nearly 70
Yep. There may be a video or two on you tube, either Tonys tackle if CJ fishing. That is where I saw it.The fury? Hmm I hadn’t considered it. Il take a look now
That's why I only put the link up for the Fury 450, didn't think you'd need a reel.Yeah me too, I’ve already got him a shimano ultegra XSE unfortunately
There's an Irish guy on Youtube who I think is some sort of Ambassador for Yuki. Might be worth a look for Tom.Maybe look at the Yuki and Trabucco rods. Proper conti rods and will handle our type of fishing.
Your only about half hour away from ABC on Anglesey, I'd drop in there for a chat and see what they'd recommend, they have alot of rods on display from different manufacturers. Or give them a call to see what they've got on display and see if it's worth the trip up to have a look around.
I got my dad some quantum contis from there a few years ago, he lives them and rates them highly for ease of use and casting distance.
They don't make them today anymore but plenty of comparable ones in there.
Problem you have mate is you buy your dad a rod, but he might not like it, or be able to get the best out of it..

Good on you, got to look after us oldies...I’ve always bought his rods, when it comes to tackle he hasn’t got a flipping clue lol.
I also tie all his rigs and carry all his gear .
Thank Christ he has recently learnt to bait up himself .
