TRQ is a nice rod - the 20lb is quite heavy (we have had the 20lb "normal" and "braid" versions for prizes at the Open, donated by Mark at Alderney Angling). Dan Chapman has the 12lb braid which he uses for wrecking and it looks ace!

 

The best one in my opinion is the "braid" version as it is a little thinner and softer action.

I Bought dad one of the Saltist Braid special and he realy likes it (I broke his 12/20 Kenzacki).

 

They are very ligh and slim as Rob said in fact I definetely want one:)

I think the Saltist from what I've seen has extremely small eyes which can be annoying if you use a mono leader knot ,but lovely action and bite detection

IMHO. Nige
