One rod n reel???

[Phil83]

mk3 apollo and slosh 30 for me

[rossysmallcast]

I got 2 rods, ron thompson oceanica 13 ft (£30) with grey mag 7 and Sonic SK3with slosh 30

I prefer the RT setup, the rod is bomb proof and bite detection is better.

The sonic has lost 2 rings inners and white paint is peeling off the end. Wish i bought the RT axcellerator. Got it at XMAS, waste of money.

So totally happy with my £75 quid setup verses me £210 setup deffo not £145 performance differance and after all its not the rod and reel what catches the fish, its the bait n bloke on the end.

Another Rant - Back in the olden days I would suggest that even my RT or a Fladen as previously mentioned would be far better than rods produced 30 years back before all you snobs with ya Conos, zippies etc think that the more you spend on gear the more fish you catch.

I bet you would catch just as many fish with me £75 setup as you would your £500 quid setups or does bait, presentation and conditions not come into play when you flash the cash like.

Get over yoursell with ya my rod is better than your rod sh**e cos it cost £200 more - so f**k or al send me da round cos he's harder than your

i think this thread was - "what is your preferred single rod setup" not - being a snob and competing ? wtf.......

Coddy, Just fancied a rant after the poundshop comment!!!

[codseeker]

look mate i use what some wud say not a top rod the greys nitra and a second hand penn 525 mag and it doesnt stop me catching fish infact it hasnt done bad at all for the cost why i respect it and had it redone to serve me well like said any set up will catch fish in the right conditions

[NICKY]

personal preference on what gear you use i use a ttr with a 525 mag or penn torque for a big part of my fishing and do catch fish with them

[rossysmallcast]

Pleased for ya Coddy although the pound shop comment wasn't yours, although I do sense a slight angst in your post.

I've used a Century Saturn for 13 years now and I wouldn't swap it for anything. With the Slosh 20 it casts great and can haul stuff in great.
I agree that splashing out loads of cash on gear doesn't guarantee you fish.
Use what you're comfortable with. I do.
