tournament rods

[gravel]

I know it all depends on the caster, but wat would you lads recomend for distance, zziplex or century, i prefer a low diameter rod but very stiff, 13 or 14ft in lengh

[m.b3]

zzipplex, get a reducer with it. what sort of fishing you gonna do?

[gravel]

wat does the reducer do to the rod? ill be fishing in malin head casting towards a load off f****** comerants that never used to be there, but ive learnt when fishing, you buy the best and keep it . im after a low diameter rod, yet stiiiiffffff

Dont go there and say, cormarants, means No fish.

sosss its in the wrong topic.

A good tourment caster will put a lead 150mts with a brush handle.

A good tradesman will never blame this tools.

The reducers is used when you are casting down the but remove it when casting, use it when retreiving.

depending on the ground u want to fish etc, there is so much out there, plus you dont necessarily need a tournament rod to get good distance.
some daiwa rods, greys, conoflex, zziplex , century etc etc are all known to be capable rods of big distances in the right hands

[stevo]

i would certainly go for a zziplex xtr sport, or slightly softer xtr 50/50
superb rods slim, light , and loads of power,

Cono-flex anubis 6oz, 14ft, stiff, 28m butt, a great rock rod thats
capable of massive distances with a nice tip, just my opinion.
Reducers- if you really like a rod but its a little thick in the butt you can mount your reel on the reducer and cast with it in that position, i recently tried this on my Anubis Tournament and no problems, other wise the reducer is only there to aid retriveing if reel is in the low position.
