Its really interesting how we all use something a bit different and why we use it.
Location, life stage, target species are the main drivers for our choices.
No brand dominating here no rod type no reel type goes to show how we all do it a bit different to the next guy.
I generally fish chesil and its the time of year when I will start targeting cod in bigger seas I just got a pair of heavier winter rods out with a pair of heavy multipliers ready for some 200g fishing and my thoughts are christ these are heavy!!
The rods are afaw match pro mk2s and the reels saltiga 20s and although they are not heavy to most people after a summer of using light rods they feel like scaffold poles and winches I must be getting bloody old. Still no point in having them if I am not going to use them I guess. I will take them down Chesil over the next few days along with a heavy 7ft tripod and a winter shelter, the change or seasons.... change of gear.
