Any lads got experience of both these rods? Other than the length is their any real difference.Cheers.
Had both and the big beach mk2 is the rod
If your after a match type rod then tourney match, std mk2 match or a Zziplex m4gt would be good choices. They all respond best to a pendulum type cast. If you fish reel up and marks like Tynemouth pier then the shorter rod would be a good choice otherwise the longer tourney match is better for 6oz and bait. As the spick has said the big beach mk2 is a great all rounder, much better than the mk1 which had too soft a butt. If you want a really powerful rod with a match tip have a look at a txl gt. Will chuck any lead yet still show bites. A bullet gt is another rod with great bite detection.

Had a look at that the other day in Lewis's Tackle. Looks a lovely rod.
That's what the Spaniard was using the other day doh!! Until he bust his tip ring.

AFAW TORNAMENT ROCK is as good as ANY fishing rod on the market in my opinion, it will handle 200gms + a big bait has excellent bite detection whatever range your fishing at and will drag fish from the thickest of kelp. I would also point out there have been very, very few genuine breakages of these rods (if any at all), this might be down to the rods being designed by a top class angler who obviously knows what is required when designing rods for different types of angling. Many anglers are under the false impression that in a rod has to be mega stiff for it to be a powerful rod this is IMO absolute rubbish a rod needs to bend to be used properly. The number of anglers currently using rods that are far to stiff for them to compress is staggering and anglers should be buying rods that suit their casting ability rather than listen to the garbage being shoved down their throats by cash hungry tackle dealers.
how would you know what these "staggering" numbers are ??? not being funny just curious
