Spinning Rod advice?

i use my flattie fanatic for spinning but at 11ft was thinking of getting something a bit smaller ( say 9ft) this year and was looking at those tyran rods myself
 
For spinning for pollack i use something with a lil bit of grunt a fox worrior 3lb test carp rod, as i found spinning rods just cant cut the mustard when your getting them upwards of 4lb.

For bass i use a sonik sk3 9ft spinning rod, cracking rod thinking about getting the sk4 10ft one this year tho, so if your after a 9ft rod maybe i can help? its top condition took great care of it :)
 
i have a fox warrior bass rod 11.6ft 2-4 onces it copes with spinning ,flatty bashing and float fishing and light fishing for piers for sport mackerel and a 2 hook flapper rig and 4 ounce lead
 
if your spinning you should really look at the teklon range- for around £100 you get a rod that will make your lures work. fish with good quality 15lb braid and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
interesting thread, looking myself for a scratching/summer river/clean beach distance rod [tip tornado match?] (15 pound line and leader)
and a spinning rod

thoughts turning to spring already after a dire winter. very hit and miss.

get the cherrywood pro mint rods i have just bought one for the summer 40 to 80grams nice and pokey i bought trhe 9ft one if u look around there very cheap i paid 29.99 for mine
 
i use a shimano beastmaster 8/9ft stc 10/40g. you'll be amazed at how much power they have. i've had codling, pollock and coalie to 5lb no probs at all.
 
I know some members have said they use bass rods but I could not disagree more. Whilst the Japanese style rods are great they may be out of some peoples budgets. You want something with a fast action so you can work those lighter lures as well as your jellies and spinners and most manufacturers offer rods in the £50-£70 range that will do this well. I would always go 10ft you will really see the benefits both in distance and control. Yellow braid for visibility and good quality fluro leader is equally important to get the best from your fishing. Can't wait to get back on the west coast of scotland and the Mull in the summer. Cracking fishing and beautiful surroundings. Tight Lines.
