gjb Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Give myself a treat last weekend and got some new rods 2 Penn TRQ 20lb boat rods and a Diawa Saltist braid special 12-20 lb rod boat look good but has anyone had any experience of these rods please don't tell me i have got this wrong cheers graham Quote
Rob Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 TRQ is a nice rod - the 20lb is quite heavy (we have had the 20lb "normal" and "braid" versions for prizes at the Open, donated by Mark at Alderney Angling). Dan Chapman has the 12lb braid which he uses for wrecking and it looks ace! The best one in my opinion is the "braid" version as it is a little thinner and softer action. Rob Quote
Matt Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 I Bought dad one of the Saltist Braid special and he realy likes it (I broke his 12/20 Kenzacki). They are very ligh and slim as Rob said in fact I definetely want one:) Matt Quote
niggle Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 I think the Saltist from what I've seen has extremely small eyes which can be annoying if you use a mono leader knot ,but lovely action and bite detection IMHO. Nige Quote
