JonC Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 It you can find one in good condition then an Abu suveran is a nice rod Dicky and Saintly Fish 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_Egg2012 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Also ziplex do the sea raider3, but at £300 it’s a bit steep. Scotch_Egg2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 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…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Greys GR75s Abu 7000 Or shimano charter special 25lb mono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Would have the Greys over the Diawa any day of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyswamp Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I've got the heavier suveran I don't use 10oz, but it handles 8oz with big baits in Bristol channel tides easily Haven't used the greys or kenzakis, so can't compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyhookit Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 ive a few old Diawa T D U 4 to 10 oz Amorphus whisker uptide rods matched with Abu 9000 C reels or Calcutta 700 Landed tope to 73lbs with them in the past awesome rods use them the last time we went fishing Landing cod to 5 Lbs and more throw backs than you could count Saintly Fish and Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 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.
