that's the one !

I've heard of the Kona rods, they have a tip to die for , absolutely brilliant rods, nearly had one but the shop owner decided to have it himself !

Back to the Nitron's, I have a pair of the XP ones and find them a big improvement on the red one's , which were terrible, they cast well and have a much better retrieve than the originals, the XP's seem to be made much better than than the red ones and the gearing seems to mesh better unlike...

Anyone tried the newer Banzai ? monomag, one piece frame, slower retrieve which interests me as I would think it would make the retrieve more powerful, got plenty Abu's, Diawa's and especially Akios multi's, just interested in these because of the gear ratio - 4.4:1

Not as nice to use as the standard chrome shuttles, side by side the chrome one seem better quality, don't think they have any advantages over normal brass gearing either

Bought a pair of the Tronixpro blackouts, 15% off

Very rarely cast more than 150gm weights , have used 6oz for some venues but not often, if there's a tidal run I just drop line diameter, keeping same breaking strain, and cast up tide, works for me, getting way to old to go lobbing cannon 🐚 shells

same as the ones on Century and Zipplex ! funny how they suddendly become quality components then !

can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear !

just really didn't l;ike them, felt like fishing with just a butt section plus the action of the rods were awful think the HST would of been ok if it had a better tip, the action on the rod was ok till you hit thepart which dealt with bite detection !

Zipplex him, promo syncros, 2500 ptx, hsts, and couple other models ! Never again !

I use/used many models from tronix, comp gt's, blaze mxiv's nagas, cobras, xenon in both 2 piece and 3 piece, and a good few others, changed from using Century , zipplex etc, very disappointed in so call UK rods ( far East fixtures an fittings, prob far east carbon !) Feel the tronix brand to...

Bought a pair of the Tidal XR's (red 300gm) couple weeks back, then last week Veals had a sale so I bought a pair of the Tronixpro Blaze MXIV's as well. finally got out to try the XR's , pretty pokey for a conti style rod, well suited to heavier FS fishing, srtill waiting for the MXIV's to...
