Tx2 seem to get good reviews but not sure if they bend as much as the crosscast

Welcome to the future only problem is a drone battery last about half an hour to an hour wont get far with that lol

The write up for the rods you are using is this is based on a 3lb tc im sure a friend of mine uses the same rod When he bought them we fished a lake that was 105m from one bank to the other and I could just about hit it but most of the time dropped about 5 yards short but that was a standard overhead thump with a 6 foot drop and a 3oz lead Thanks to a dependable carbon weave material and a decent array of furnishings, Daiwa’s Crosscast carp rods are as easy on the eye as they are on the pocket. For a modest amount of moolah you get ceramic LS-lined guides (including a 50mm butt guide and anti-frap tip ring), full flared shrink-grip handle and an original Fuji reel seat. The 12ft, 3lb test curve model on live test duty is a ‘Steady Eddie’ of a performer that can turn its hand to just about any method. It will handle solid PVA bags and straight lead set-ups, and is just about soft enough on the top of its tip section for zig tactics using hooks as small as size 12. Very well suited to smaller or middle-sized venues, it will chuck up to 65 yards with ease, and will achieve 100 yards-plus in the hands of an accomplished caster. However, the Crosscast is definitely not a horizon-buster, but more of an all-round tool for the newbie carper looking for a dependable and good-looking carp rod on a realistic budget.

This is why one set of rods can’t do it all… but if you can only have the one set do you go for a set that can cast to the moon or struggle to get over 80 yards?? im lucky and have a set for any situation I may encounter if that means using a 6’ rod or a 13’ poker then so be it

Funny how different we all are. I think it’s the perfect size lol holds just enough of everything I might need as spares I take a clam shell box onto the bank with me

I got one of those it’s good Just doesn’t feel as nice as the Korda version

I have a couple for freshwater use one of those yellow hobbies that attach to the bait boat and a deeper pro plus. I turn the fish finder part off and just use them as a mapping tool my gps fish finder on my boat I use all the features on it but then I am fishing in the sea ..

No my wife might read this lol lol

Still use my original one from before they put their stamp on them lol good for omelettes 3 eggs are a perfect fit if plain 2 if adding any extras

Don’t do it unless you are confident in what you are doing slightest error on your end could potentially end in bad stuff.

Couldn’t think of anything worse than loosing a fish on a hook tied by someone else I wouldn’t even let my best friend tie my knots and he’s an angler

I have a couple of pieces by them I would never use the terminal tackle though

Agree a few years ago barbel rods were only 1lb or so tc and they are now in the 2lb bracket soon be using these for roach lol

To heck with voting green you will lose angling then

I personally think you need to change one thing at a time first off. it may need a slightly alternate arrangement before you go wholesale at it. how will you know what component was wrong ??

Plus if a boat is good enough for the Hearn then it’s good enough for anyone lol

It really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks your fishing and how you choose to angle for them is your choice alone i have a bait boat and have never used it in England, mainly because the waters I fish do not allow them. that means I still have to be able to cast and feature find so it will never be a forgotten part of fishing for me some of the day tickets I fish you will be on a loser if you don’t use them I just choose not to.simply,because to me my fishing isnt a numbers game couldn’t think of anything worse than fishing the Tom maker style 50 fish a day would be so boring to me…

Not for bait boat yet it’s still to new for that

I’m seriously considering getting AT 2 for my boat

Have a look at active target lol

Ace i3 or fox dxr originals , I have the best of both worlds vibration and roller wheel lol Had ATTS since they come out only ever changed batteries once never any problems with them despite no sound put of the head. the remotes never packed up either despite all the early worries by some folks and have fox sx albeit modded by dalectronics to remote system and blue leds also had Neville’s

I tend to have the heads turned right down to silent and only have the remote on low the ace i3 had a mute function press a button on the side and it goes silent for 30 seconds then resets to on again.

it’s all the same regurgitated stuff how many ways can you tie a ronnie try this super duper slip” E “ rig how to set up a chod here’s a review that isn’t a review because we don’t want to upset the advertisers. even podcasts now all have the same stories from the same guests at least the baitworks ones you tend to get old school anglers who you don’t normally get in the mags etc

Last magazine I bought carpology Jan 2020 last blog would have been joe Morgan’s carp angle around the same time podcast however all the time carp fishing baitworks podcast Nash korda carp chronicles when he can be bothered to do one and if it’s not”too heavy”
