Advice T900 or TTSMG?

[Tournamag]

Have options on T900's or TTSM Graphex's Sports i don't thinks so on it as bite detections not there.
There more for heavier end 6oz'ish as have my Italcanna Dynamises which will do 5-6oz and under.
Mind tempted to sell them but handy i guess if travel limited by that Twat NightMare for London Kaiser Khan.
They carry at 5ft.

Personally I'd go for the Graphex super match, I wouldn't contemplate a t900. Likely to be far too powerful for me, 10 and a half stone short arse!
Going by Chichester Pete's review he said the TTGSM was the best 5oz rod he'd ever used.

So depends, what will the new rods be used for?

Hi as it say's above no less? 6oz ish more rough weather like Chesil in a storm! as Dynamis cover lighter really and can use either reel type with them but mostly use with FS and Light braids

Having had a t900 and got rid because of the weight and length ,but still a nice fishing rod , if the weight doesn't bother you go for the t900 .

Maybe a broom handle would work

I like my graphex sports but would be very interested in a graphex t900 if they even brought one out

Ah, misread your post.

I'd take the Supermatch still, it's rated to 7oz, so 6oz should be no bother. I use a t800 for 6oz plus bait in all weather alongside a Fireblade.

I'll only step up to my mk1 14ft 6nbait and IMAX extreme when I need to throw 7oz all night, or if I am fishing a mark when I may need to swing a fish in/it's snaggy as fook.

On paper seem pretty similar on casting weight etc.smg's shorter 13.6 and lighter by? and thinner butt/T900 is 14.4 and thicker in butt 23.9mm
But it's in fishing terms?

Supermatch is a fair bit lighter, 735g or so (T800 is 760g for reference), T900 is around 920g, but is far more powerful though from what I've read, especially with the extra length it probably needs some man handling.

Did find 900 was balanced with a reel on when tried one didn't notice the weight in use

TTSM Graphex's Sports

I'd trust Petes advice Gary.You know him he don't take prisoners.You've followed him with the Italcannas go for the Graphex.But the choice is yours.

You're in the best position then to choose. Having tried both?
Maybe one of each

The bite detection on the graphex sports not bad for a rod like that but the places I use mine and the fish I would hope to catch on it your gonna know you gotta bite

Hi no Not tried the Graphexs yet just the 8 and 9 mind already have some Ball Busters! Reelsport Response (Uprated TTS)MK1.Conoflex Lion Heart should be Brave heart! Mind no good for you as would pitch you up in air and into sea @10 stone! lol 5-6oz sticker say's but think they missed the 1 off before by fook is it quick on recovery.
Century Slammer that's a fun rod old but still can show the puppies the way to go 8oz no problem! inc double mackerel!

If i was in the Market for a three piece sort of conti rod Italcanna dynamis all day every day FSH bit longer nicer tip OTG bit more power
Tronix/Akios why £400 odd have a real decent rod that stays as three piece.

 

[Had1]

use the t900 every now and then is in the same ball park as my 6 n bait imo use them for bullying smoothies etc bit heavy for bass n general fishing unless tides are an issue extra strong deep water for example then it'll be just the job

What's that got to do with quoting me Gary.
