No you can catch close range but might hit a few snags

Any rod that an individual owns is going to be the best thing since sliced bread. Personally I have owned and used most top end rods but the rod that has surprised me most is century c3 ld. When they first came out they were cheaper then they are now and for the coin they are awesome. Favorite rod I've owned is the zziplex m4 evo without a doubt. But if I could find one I would have a kompressor international, old yes, awesome ? Absolutely.

70 yards

Agree 100% but Penn 525 is usually a bit over gunned for pier work especially on the lighter rods. Knocks the balance to sh*t
If its rough ground though its usa penn 525 all the way (invincible)
I use the akios 666 shuttle/7ht on the pier paired with either clubman/conoflex source/imax 5 stroke 6

Best reels ever made IMO

Its all i ever use, anywhere

I think we have a vast aray of rods the do the damage I just think its personal preference with them all one rod doze one perdon but crap for another at end if day I think it gets out of had the rod and reel situation. But hey guess its been like that for years

1 rod i have that i've fished for flattys with but is equally at home landing smoothounds & huss is a zziplex profile evo. Absolutely love this rod. Perfect for the pier i think.

tip tornado sport...

ive been using one for over 15 years, i started with an original formula tip tornado.

if ..... money was no object, id buy a newer one.

i use a 6500 over clean ground and its balanced perfectly but will use a heavier 525 if the ground gets rough.

this rod will happily lob 4oz and a 2 hook flapper for small fish over clean ground or blast 6oz and big bait into the rough stuff if needed.

80% of my fishing is done with it especially match fishing where the bite detection is brilliant.and ive had many double figure rays and huss on it.

Because I use a fixed spool I just treated myself to what I thought of as the "money no object" rod for that game. Yuki Q7 4.5m. Only used it a couple of times but it seems spot on to me.
