Recommend an uptide rod.


Recommended Posts

I'm currently using a pair of Penn Squadron 2's they are rated upto 10oz,  they are quite a cheap rod got them to see if I'd get on with uptiding.  I've heard good things about the new kenzaki uptiders but I'm no fan of kenzaki because of their rings, seen to many liners come out and break. 

When I upgrade to a better pair of rods they'll likely be a pair of Daiwa Tournaments,  I can't source Greys ones anywhere and Century don't do them much to my annoyance

I have a greys one, it’s a really good rod but they are scarce

Kenzaki or Greus are nice rods. 
 

Im old schill. TDU410 best ever made 🙂 I’ve also got a Twin Power 4-10. 
 

Suverean are lovely. 10oz is quite heavy mind…. That’s a lot of lead….

Keep an eye out on evilbay for an Abu suveran pro 4-10. the latest Suveran i think is 5-10 but haven't used one so can't comment. The beauty of the suveran and the Greys is the retractable butt which on boats makes them easier to use imo.

The retractable butt invariably gets glued stuck with bait, keep it well lubricated.

It turned up today in brand new never been used condition. 
The original Daiwa cloth bag smells like an ashtray though, so I'd guess it's been stood in the corner of a room somewhere lost and neglected.
