  2. Maybe because you had 13 footers rather than 12😉 The only Century rods I found heavy were a set of FMJ's I had. They could cast to the moon, but were very heavy. Really wish now I hadn't sold them for the distance casting I'm doing now. Sonik or Greys? Neither, I would be going back to Century given the choice❗️

  3. I get that and the same applies to me, travel, food, bait, tackle, syndicate fees its a very expensive game. However, when I needed extra yards on my casting and wasn't happy with the overall accuracy of my casting when giving it some, I realised my old rods just didn't have the backbone required and needed replacing. I could have bought some Grays or Soniks but with custom built Torrix TEs available at £280 each I saved up and got them instead of buying budget rods. Have I made the right choice, hell yes - TE's are right up there and for the money, represent good value IMO compared to other inferior rods at a much higher price. Depends how you look at it, my mate bought a £700+pod and would never spend decent money on rods coz he doesn't see the point, whereas I would never spend that money on a pod that does nothing more than look a bit better than its cheaper rivals. Good rods actually give you something tangible for the extra money and you can feel it, see it, benefit from it I'm not saying your choices are bad, far from it, but just making the point about aiming higher with such an important purchase if you can.

  4. You won't be disappointed fella. As I say, they are super strong and ultra sharp, straight from the pkt.

  5. Not sure I'd pay the rrp for Sonik rods, before thoroughly checking them out in the flesh..... I bought some S6's reduced, which were previously their top end rod, before the Dominator X.... when they hit the shelves they were £200 a pop, not worth that imo, hell of a lot of glossy laquer over all the whippings, too much, looks as though they have tried to hide some dodgy whipping...... They do the job, but imo no better than a £70-£80 rod.... what I've noticed is that mid range rods are usually a price hike on budget rods and as such are eventually sold at a budget price when a newer model comes out........ Can't remember hearing anything bad about Greys rods (others may have)...... Given the choice, if I was buying , I would choose the G4's if I could get them at a decent price, or even G3's which are dirt cheap, this is based on the Sonik rods I have. But ideally I'd be saving for some decent rods, Century, Harrison, Free Spirit etc. Because in my mind, a mid range rod, is a budget rod with a higher price..... Just my op.... Good luck
