Rob Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share 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.

Matt Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share 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.
