Rod opinions...

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Well sorry to go against popular belief but I love my Mk2 Apollo ,casts great and not had a problem with bite detection either ,it's been over a few times so it's scratched but not broken and in my oppinion a canny rock rod , however I did snap my Triplex as I'm sure some of you may remember ,a very soft rod and at 16ft quite a tool in the right hands ,great for a clean beach.

like one man said earlier ,its not the best priced rod a man will catch with ,its with hes bare hands and the skill and on the day that man should be worthy of his catch

Wax on, Wax Off Codseeker'san

Great rod mate. I've got 2. They are a bit stiff like but great for rock fishing. A very good workhorse of a rod imo. I also use it for fishing piers and beaches, however if you are going to fish the beaches loads a rod with a softer tip will get you a few extra yrds.

why are the Greys rods so prone to snapping? I've read and heard various people saying the same things......

because there made in china for coppers cheap rubbish with decent rod price tag

I've also got 2 greys rods, a syntra beach rod which i love, get a good cast and i'm not the best caster in the world. I use 6 or 7 oz weights and big baits and it seems ok. I also have a spinning rod that pulled a 6lb+ pollock up over some big rocks on probs.
