good rods the ss , pleasing to use and casting comes very easy with the rod doing most of the work . as for being stiff - well I have over the years used rods that were a lot stiffer in the tip for really heavy ground , conoflex's mainly . the ss I had I only ever used 6oz leads as anymore and i'd not cast as good , my conoflex Anubis plus however would cast 7oz plus bait .if I was buying a rod i'd have another ss for sure...

think its fair to say for a real heavy ground rod most would go for ttr/eliminater.
but saying that not that i fish much heavy ground now but i can imagine the ss would do for me but it is down to the individual what type of rod he thinks he needs for heavy ground ie an all out poker or do you think a slightly softer rod ie the ss would do.
i have cast the ss and found it powerful the tip end is not as stiff as ttr or eliminater but as i said it would still do me on the heavy ground.
think the quest is how stiff has a rod to be for rough ground we all have our own opions.did you know panel pins comes in diff sizes ?

Then you get people who think that if a rod bends a little its no good. For me my fav rod for the heavy ground was my m4 evo untill it was stolen and I was unable to replace it.Regards Nicky.

Its down to prefrence in heavy ground i like a poker stiffer the better but to fish over mixed ground something softer i found with a softer rod i.e a ss a m4 evo if a fish gives a pull down you cant stop it as easy as the tip bends and alows it with a poker you can bully it i am not a great caster but find the ss tip and m4 evo and bullet and a few other have thus problem the bullets and m4 evo are powerfull rods but not stiff there is a massive difference in a powerfull rod to a stiff tod

by todays standards this rod would be called a floppy stick no doubt but it did the job and would do now.
as said earlier its ones own opion and what one likes to use himself.
when you mention (you people} it would be boring if we were all the same of course in my opion.did you know panel pins comes in diff sizes ?
