    Rod line rating question

    Silstar Matchteam has been a solid reel line for years. Use which ever poundage you see fit, you should know when the rods had enough tbh.

    Reels for basias

    If you can't get Thunnus Jon, the 6000/8000 are a good second. I have had the castizm BRs, very nice reels, couldn't fault them, however the Thunnus were a far better balance for me.

    Significant advance in carbon fibre rod building in the last 20 years?

    It's a little like fibre glass rods, there is only so far you could go with them. Now we are at that point with carbon. The biggest change over the past few years has been reducing the resin in carbon cloths. Its quite catastrophic when this mark has been reached.

    Interesting Vid from Mark Tunley

    The fact MT used 2 totally different actions, totally debunks his findings. One was a through action, the other a carp rod made primarily for distance. 2 rods with totally different loading points. Now if he had used all dark Carbon rods, then he would have had my vote and probably had a rush on...
