hi all, not sure how many of you know of REELSPORT in south shields, terry woods shop but has any one got or used the REELSPORT RESPONE ROD used to be called longbeach, i quite fancy one but not sure wat they are like and with a 270 quid price tag cant really afford just to fling money away. cheers for any info

Cracking rod mate, I've had mine for about 2 years now and can't fault it.

Superb rod, been using and abusing mine for 5 years now.

Casts very well and it shows up the finickiest of bites, I've never come across a situation that it cannot handle.

Great all rounder pier, beach, rocks but fairly pokey - only a long range rod in the right the right hands IMHO. I cast further with my Primo Synchro.

 

[Stampsy525]

thanks for the info guys, so it could handle the rocks up isle of whithorn n places like that no bother.

nice rod mate but only good in the right hands, a few more quid you will have enough for ttr or kompressor wr300 these are top rods money well spent,but depends on your personal preference .I've had a scorpion sport for 22yrs one the first rods i invested in and i still use it now 20 yrs later,but as i said depends on what your comfortible with.

 

[Jimbob]

Aye handle the rough ground no bother...its a bit like the old red tip tornado grand prix but with modern materials. Its also a long rod if you fit a reducer for low down casting.

terry uses a responce himself and he only fishes rough rock marks .and he has pulled 1 or 2 canny fish in with it. also ive never heard out bad about them only good.

i went to look at them in terrys shop the other day

the finish is first class

the rod feels well balanced and very good in the hand

and in a week or so when my wallet recovers from taking the wife with me i shall have one

A very good rod indeed, I had one for about 2 years and it did all that I required of a rod, well balanced eyes and whippings first class ( he really is good at his job of rod building ) and a very nice rod to use. Best of luck on your choice of rod.
