    carpyian reacted to smufter in Best all round rods   
    I've just "splashed the cash" and am back on the rods I've been promising myself since stupidly selling a set of them about 3 or 4 years ago. I regretted doing it at the time, but I needed the cash due to work issues....
    I only fish 11' rods, (which limits my choices somewhat), but FreeSpirit, within the S range, offer the TS 2.75lb 11 footer. They are absolutely fantastic and I sold every other rod I had to help fund buying them. 
    These, to me, are the "ultimate" 11 footers. Absolutely superb fish playing action, very light, minimal graphics, and can flick a lead out brilliantly. Caught my pb on one of these (37lb Common) so I certainly don't feel "undergunned" using them on waters that hold bigger fish. 
    I don't consider myself a "tackle tart" but it's nice that everybody who has seen them has commented on how good they look and feel. 
    "Best rod" is a little subjective, because you can only gauge it on ones that you have actually used. But to me, these are MY best rods.
    I just hope the wife never finds out how much I actually spent on them.....😲😲😲
