Tronix Competition Match GT 4.35m
TCMGT2
A two-piece traditional style beachcaster designed for the angler who fishes in a variety of different conditions. The rod of choice if you’re fishing for big rays and cod in rocky ground and deep water, but equally at home fishing shallower beaches for flat fish, dogfish and whiting. The blank is powerful, especially in the butt and mid section. The tip retains plenty of sensitivity but is stiff enough that it won’t be affected by a big surf or tidal conditions. Designed to cast up to 250g, it can be cast conventionally with an overhead thump, to get the best from it, a pendulum style cast is required and having a good casting technique will get the most performance from this rod. Its optimum casting weight is 170g. The blank is constructed from 30ton Japanese carbon from Mitsubishi with Nano Graphene Matrix, a material that is a hundred times stronger than steel of the same thickness. It makes the rod ultra-light and gives excellent recovery when casting as well as increasing overall strength and bite sensitivity in the tip. The butt section is wrapped in a durable, rubber shrink wrap and comes with a Fuji DPS sliding reel seat so you can set the reel up in the right position for you. Fitted throughout with Fuji CC Framed KWAG guides, which help eliminate line twist to improve casting distances, they can also be used with a wide range of line diameters and are suitable for use with both multiplier and fixed spool reels.

It is a three-piece hi-modulus carbon blank that features a tubular power tip with a strong, semi-parabolic, progressive action throughout. Reinforced ferrules give confidence when distance casting.

Anyfish Anywhere 11ft Estuary Rod Mk2 1-3oz
AFEMK2
So what, exactly, is an Estuary fishing rod? Well, it’s a bit of a tricky one, its not just a flounder rod, its not a Bass fishing rod, it’s the sort of rod you use when you don’t want to cast a weight heavier than say, 3 or 4 oz’s. Now that doesn’t mean that that is all this rod will do. Far from it. This rod is not just about casting lighter leads and bottom fishing. This rod will also float fish, even cast lures or plugs, in fact versatility is what this rod is all about. From ledgering for Bass to float fishing for mackerel, this rod will do the lot, because the design of this blank is rather unusual. But before you ask, NO, it’s not just a carp rod in disguise! This is the rod that sea anglers should be using anytime they think of using a carp rod.
