They say a lot of things to sell there rods . I had the 16ft tripplex and found it fine in the Tyne and clean beaches but it was a very soft rod, will chuck 6 oz and bait though.

Pop dwn my way the triplex,the lads like e'm for the clean sand n fxd spools with braid,soft n floppy imo but very pop none the less,better with 5oz's n bait but like above will do 6oz n bait but not good for 7oz's n big swells(nightmare in the wind too).

little update
found a ebay shop selling this rod for £269-99 free delivery or make best offer
I googled the rod and found a shop selling it for £225-00
offered this to ebay shop saying ive found it for this price
he replys saying the shop must have made a mistake in there listing as its the 14ft rod that's that price
he then says if I offer £254-99 he would accept
I got in touch with the shop selling for 225-00 and there out of stock,so I thought id just pay the 254-99 so offered that
he then gets back to me asking for £265-00 with free deliverey(it has free delivery anyway)
I google his shop and he has it on there for £229-49
was going to just buy it there but think ill look elsewhere
