have to go careful with what we say on here mate about products as it might end up in a certain mag lol 😀 😀 😀

Unfortunately we have no opinion as were all losers.

go to a desant tackle shop and have a waggle. and see for yourself.

Mr Bones has a point lads……

:rolleyes:

If only there were some kind of industry publication that provided helpful reviews of new products like this…

Daz – take a look at the Alex Bones editorial thread and all will be explained! https://www.total-fishing.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=57937

Lads,at the end of the day regardless of the biased,and lack of honesty regarding genuine tackle reviews in magazines.if someone posts on here asking for advice,we should give a proper opinion,and not a wind up,otherwise we are as bad as we have been led to believe we are :confused:

daz which shop do you use rochdale angling centre,tight lines ? keirron rich lives in manchester so assuming your local shop has a diawa account ask the owner to get keirron to bring his rod samples in for you to have a look at.

What rods do you currently use Daz?

When I make a large fishing tackle purchase I always ask myself if what I am currently using can be significantly improved upon.

At the start of the summer I was looking at buying a new seat box, I currently use an old Daiwa Tournament and Penrose barrow/platform combo for fishing the river Yare and other places, I spent a considerable amount of time perusing various boxes in Angling Directs shop in Norwich…….and came to the conclusion non of what was on offer ( and they have an extensive range) would prove to be significantly better than my current choice, so I did not part with my “hard earned dollar” as you put it.

There is nothing wrong with upgrading your fishing gear mate, but IMO the upgrade should be a significant one, otherwise it will prove to be a bit of a gamble from what you know is proven gear and a waste of money in the long run.

I have the 12ft Tourney Pro rod and use it for pellet waggler fishing no problem.
However when the fish are bigger or i need to cast further the Spectron M2 12ft 2 piece Pellet Waggler is my choice and recommendation it’s a proper piece of kit imo.
I take it your on about the Airity range of rods Daz?
I’m not sure if it’s just me but they just look too wierd, strange reel seat no cork handle oh dear, the other reason i’ll not be buying any is theres nowt wrong with what i already have.

Oh sorry pal i’ve not seen those myself.
Before you make your choice see if you can get a look at the Spectron M2 they really are very good.

I agree, the 12ft spectron M2 is awesome for pellet wag, had the 12ft tournament and it just wasn’t up to it.

The new Tournament Multi rods are not yet available. I have seen and handled them at the first Daiwa trade show a few months ago. They should be available early in the new year, and i would hope to live test them in Angling Times, but am not at all convinced that many match anglers will invest in that amount of money in a multi-functional rod. Perhaps its the way forward, we’ll see.

he ok pal! 🙂

Now and again a 12 foot pellet waggler is handy on some venues?.For me the Daiwa SR3 match pellet power is a great buy.You can now pick them up for £45 🙂 🙂

To them it does not matter whether they are better or worse than the old model because as soon as Steve is pictured using one in a future copy of Match Fishing they know they are going to sell bucket loads, and that’s not a dig at Steve or Alex it’s just how the advertising machine works.

Mind you Steve still not convinced on that grounbait mix for Porth, lol.

AS=G5 surely.
