jonnyswamp Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Been looking to get another Suveran 5-10oz uptider to match the one I have Couldn't find any new ones and the second hand ones were the same price as I paid for mine when it was new Browsing marketplace last night and found one in ex condition for £60 just under an hour away A few messages and we agreed on £50 (cos it's an hour away) picked it up earlier and It's in it's new home now Very happy with and it will chuck a slosh 30 on it just like my other one My other uptiders are like tank aerials compared to these, it's quite a stiff rod, but a good tip Just the job for strong tides What do others prefer, jonc does a fair bit of uptide work IIRC GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I’ve got an original 4-8 suveran, lovely rod and I would buy another if one was available at sensible money. Dicky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt really guilty when I picked it up from the guys house 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Another old rod I have is the shimano ultregra uptide. That is really stiff, but a sensitive tip it could do with a rebuild but I can’t be arsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 No I haven’t, but I would expect it’s similar with a bit more strength in the middle. Keep the extending butt section clean, the are well known for jamming. My one got stuck in and I ended up cutting it and using an old beach rod reducer to make the handle up. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyswamp Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 I've heard of a few that have seized, I never extend mine past the max line Maybe that's why some have jammed Also it's only extended for casting, then retracted for the actual waiting about bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Just heading out to try another Shimano grappler, the opposite end of the range to the one I caught the tuna on last weekend. This is a very light bait cast 2 piece, hope to try it on snapper and hounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I had a 4-8oz version, sold it as got a TDU410, same league. You got a bargain there, lovely rods 🙂 jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
