Hi all,
I'm looking for help / opinions on a new rod purchase. I'm looking for a rod to use on smallish waters for carp to about 25lb. One water is fairly clear, the other has significant weed. My style is smallish leads, free running and I don't fish at a distance. There are some tighter swims so an 11' rod is a must. I'm currently using a couple of 9' rods - a Wychwood Extricator at 2.75lb and a DLST 9' that is either 2.25lb or 2.5lb - Dave wasn't sure if he'd made a mistake when he wrote the name on or made one .25lb's heavier than requested...
I like Harrison blanks and own a 1.75lb GTI and the Peregrine Avon. I've been looking at 2lb GTI's or 2.5lb Baby Ballistas. I'm leaning to the Ballistas as I think they'll give me more flexibility in the future for other waters and my fear on the 2lb GTI is it's too close to what I already have?
Any ideas / Anyone got any of these rods to give me feedback on them?
Many Thanks!
