Some canny replies there lads....Tony your right about Daiwa....another manufacturer i never mentioned,i actually have a daiwa sandstorm,which for fishing piers jettys etc,canny bit of kit for 100 quid,doubt i would give it a go with the pendulum though :roll:
Most of my fishing is Rocks,beaches and mostly in the north east where there is usually a strong tide pull and realisticly you need something substantial,the rods which have served me well Centurys,probably the best all round rod being the Tip tornado sport,followed by the Kompressor,just recently got the Eliminator,but could not really comment on its ability yet........Not disrespecting Zippys just i have only ever tried them on the casting field.........Sonics also seem like canny rods and good value for money but again never tried them
