Horses for courses really, one persons love is another man's hate. I owned a tronix pro conti rod and it snapped at the joint while casting. I have tried a few in the Tronix range but don't like any of them. Do most of my south coast fishing with a pair of Fox Nemesis rods, must be twenty years old now. Always go as light as I can possibly get away with, prefer fishing rods to stiff, lifeless scaffold poles. Zziplex profile, profile gt, century ld's (which are like carp rods). If I do need to go heavy, it's century super matches (fantastic fishing tip, but powerful mid section) or my 30 year old Primo's. Bought my son a pair of Grauvell kona beach rods second hand, gave them a cast, was extremely impressed. Tried many others Abu, daiwa, zziplex, century etc... Many not suitable for me, either too soft, too stiff etc..I still prefer the older rods.

[QUOTE="squidword, post: 342848, member: 572"] Horses for courses really, one persons love is another man's hate. I owned a tronix pro conti rod and it snapped at the joint while casting. I have tried a few in the Tronix range but don't like any of them. Do most of my south coast fishing with a pair of Fox Nemesis rods, must be twenty years old now. Always go as light as I can possibly get away with, prefer fishing rods to stiff, lifeless scaffold poles. Zziplex profile, profile gt, century ld's (which are like carp rods). If I do need to go heavy, it's century super matches (fantastic fishing tip, but powerful mid section) or my 30 year old Primo's.
