i bought a second hand one (gold whippings version - mark 2 i think?) when i returned to fishing.. they are pokey and deffo more than a clean beach rod, decent casters if not top notch, but the low diamater is very nice to use.
but... they suffer from the century curse of going soft.. mine ended up like a lump of floppy liquorish before i traded it in. So personally i wouldnt get one if you use your rods a lot.

The new tt sport.is stiffer, supposed.to be a solid /harder tip, the older tt sports suffered soft tip after.a.few.years, but a lot of people.found them perfect like that, my ld was.similar,,, the sport.is similar to the cccld carbon metal,, /I got the sport.myself and love it on clean beaches, good bite detection even with small stuff, it is stiffer than the older one, but then carbon has come a long way since.then,, the supermatch ld is an easier smooth ground rod but with the seas getting rougher come November, +weed. I think I made the right choice,

As an all round rod they are excellent mate... Had one for a while.
They are not a rod for clean-mixed ground for me. Far too much power and ability and tend to bully fish over the cleaner ground. If your after a rod that will mainly fish mixed and occasional heavy ground you won't find much better. (As per other user comments, lads use them in Norway for dragging in big cod etc from the shore.)
Well worth buyin though!

It was Samhain on Saturday night, is that why you have resurrected a zombie thread from 5 and a half years ago? (OP is from Feb 2010
