On looking at your second note it screams to me a .zziplex m4gt or a century ttsmg . Buy second hand then save up for another both century and zziplex are both fixed spool and mulity

Saw my name mentioned, and had a quick scan through.

I still love the original mk2 13ft fireblades for a lot of my ray/hound fishing....such easy rods to use for mixed ground.
Light in the hand and very easy to cast a good distance.....I sum them up by saying there a lovely fishing rod...rather than a tuned casting machine that a lot of anglers just wont benefit from.

The addition of the new Glass tip version and 14ft options, now means they suit a lot of anglers...and different locations.....Cheap as well for a quality rod with a great backup from Century

Thanks everyone for your inputs. There are so many options I'm going to have to have a think to decide which way to go I popped into a random tackle shop on way home from work and the guy was raving about Yuki rods. Any opinions on these? (I think I can probably guess lol). Also still no votes for the Tronixpro Blackouts, I'm surprised no one seems to rate them. Are they really such a bad option?

They had a couple of 2 piece rods as well but they were absolute beasts. Rated upto 300g or 10.5oz in old money well over gunned for what I want to be honest

 

[SirGunner]

Have to say the build quality looked really good though to be fair
