at the end of the day BestNest you make your own choices based on your own experiences...£100 notes while still a lot of cash isn't breaking the bank and if, heaven forbid, you do have a bad experience you learn from it and move on

These types of threads always get the same answers - the lads from Durham all say Zzipplex, Sand Dancers are all Reelsport mad and you'll always get those that say British is best etc etc etc (while they're sat on their PC from the far east with a far eastern imported TV in the living room)

You buy what you can afford and at the end of the day the fish really don't give a rats ass what is in your hand...bait and "the knowledge" is key for 99.9% of how you fish in my opinion

Good luck with your new buy

As i've said many times nowt wrong with greys rods(used them for years now and no problems at all with mine).

I know loads of lads with a whole different range of rods that have snapped. The last 3 i know of are a Conoflex Anubis which snapped in kelp! Century TTR Big Daddy again snapped in kelp and a Greys rod which one of our club lads managed to snap but admits it was all his own fault!

I was fishing a Tynemouth match on the pier when the lad next to had his tip snap off his rod.....Greys i think BUT he went back too far for the cast and snacked the rod off the wall

The greys rods were probs repaired for £40 max but the other 2 i know cost a lot more and took a long time (one still not sorted) to fix.

If YOU are careful with your rod you should be fine. Anyone can snap a rod if they try hard enough.

I got rid of my Tip Tornado Sport and Wr300 when i got my Apollo Mk3!

I like the Nitra, dont have one myself but have used a one and if am been honest prefer it to my Kompressor SS in certain fishing situations.
